As he tries to find and decipher ancient riddles that will lead him to it, Gates is dogged by a ruthless enemy (Bean). Now in a race against time, Gates must steal one of America’ most sacred and guarded documents – the Declaration of Independence- or let it, and a key clue to the mystery, fall into dangerous hands. Heart-pounding c hases, close calls and the FBI turn Gates’ quest into a high-stakes crime caper and the most exciting treasure hunt you’ve ever experienced, now with a treasure trove of new special features.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets - Treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates is back—and this time it’s personal. When his great grandfather is implicated in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Ben (Nicolas Cage) is determined to clear his name, even if it means bringing together his acrimoniously divorced parents (Jon Voight and Helen Mirren). In a rollicking adventure that ranges from Buckingham Palace to Mount Rushmore, Gates pursues the infamous Book of Secrets, said to contain the truth about everything from Ben’s grandfather to the JFK murder. Only one man has access to the storied volume—the president of the United States (Bruce Greenwood), and he won’t part with it willingly. As hidden clues and long buried mysteries emerge, National Treasure: Book of Secrets build to an unforgettable, heart pounding climax.
