National Treasure
2004
Modern treasure hunters, led by archaeologist Ben Gates, search for a chest of riches rumored to have been stashed away by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin during the Revolutionary War. The chest's whereabouts may lie in secret clues embedded in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and Gates is in a race to find the gold before his enemies do.

My notes
Had a long day at work, wanted something comforting and this fit the bill.
This one probably should have been titled The American Code with how much it leaned on the same formula as Dan Brown's work. Direction on this one is mostly competent, more adventure than action, and at least a passing nod to how implausible it's story is. But Cage is fun. I can't believe they got Harvey Keitel for this (though IMDb tells me he was in the sequel and at least one episode of the tv series which is apparently also a thing that exists).
