But Wilkinson is following him. Ben's trek takes him to France, England, and eventually back to Washington but they hit a road block. And to find the clue Ben is forced to kidnap the President.
I thought the movie had a brilliant plot and you definitely don't need to see the first National Treasure movie in order to understand the concepts of this continuation. I hadn't seen the first movie and it was easy to understand what was going on as their were minimum references to the first movie. The actors portrayals of their characters were great, and overall the movie is worth seeing at the cinemas as you wouldn't get the same screen quality renting it out on DVD. It would be interesting to know if some of the facts in the movie can be generalised to real life, such as whether there really is a book that presidents use, whether the city of gold exists, and whether this tale has non-fiction aspects.
Judging by the amount of websites devoted to them, everyone seems to enjoy a good conspiracy theory (well, everyone except for the 'people in charge'); Disney's National Treasure movies take this obsession with all things secret, throws in some Indiana Jones style action and some pretty preposterous hypothesizing, and delivers a healthy dose of lightweight entertainment that it's difficult not to enjoy, no matter how silly it all gets.<br/><br/>A star studded cast joins Nicholas Cage as he once again takes the role of treasure hunter Ben Gates, who this time must unravel all manner of hidden clues in order to discover the location of a lost city of gold and clear his family's name (which has been besmirched by rival treasure seeker Mitch Wilkinson, who links the Gates with the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln).<br/><br/>This half-baked plot merely serves as an excuse for more far-fetched problem-solving and adrenaline-packed adventure, the likes of which made the first National Treasure so much fun: Ben and pals break into Buckingham Palace and the Oval Office, kidnap the President of the USA, career through the streets of London in a car whilst being chased by the bad guys, and ultimately uncover a lost temple laden with booby traps.<br/><br/>Jon Turteltaub directs with gusto, ensuring that the story whips along from scene to scene at breakneck speed, and the excellent cast all do a great job, obviously having loads of fun in the process.<br/><br/>My only minor gripe is that the character of Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris) is poorly defined: at first he is shown to be a ruthless villain, attempting to shoot the heroes and endanger the innocent; by the end of the film, he is portrayed as a misunderstood adventurer who is willing to lay down his life to save his rivals. Still, with so much else to enjoy, I'm willing to be a tad forgiving (at least no fridges get nuked in this film!!!).
This sequel is what you would expect: If you liked the original, you'll probably enjoy this retread. But be warned: It bogs down in a drawn-out scene near the end. There's certainly nothing to treasure about this movie, but if a popcorn movie with moderate intrigue and occasional humor is what you're after, this is just the ticket.
Historian Ben Gates (<a href="/name/nm0000115/">Nicolas Cage</a>) learns from treasure hunter Mitch Wilkinson (<a href="/name/nm0000438/">Ed Harris</a>) that a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth implicates Ben's great-great grandfather Thomas as a co-conspirator in the 1865 murder of Abraham Lincoln. Ben sets out to clear the Gates' name by following clues that take him to Cibola (the City of Gold), Buckingham Palace, the Oval Office, and the President of the United States. National Treasure: Book of Secrets is the sequel to <a href="/title/tt0368891/">National Treasure (2004)</a> (2004), a Disney Production that was co-written by numerous screenwriters, including American screenwriting team Marianne and Cormac Wibberley. The Wibberleys also wrote the screenplay for National Treasure: Book of Secrets. <a href="/title/tt1197627/">National Treasure 3</a> is currently in development with no release date known. The Book of Secrets refers to a book kept by the President of the United States and, in turn, handed down to each succeeding President. It contains secrets known only to the Presidents, e.g., the truth about Area 51 and the assassination of President Kennedy. The first clue leads to a replica of the Statue of Liberty that sits on the Île aux Cygnes near the Grenelle Bridge in Paris, France. On the statue is written (in French): "Across the sea, these twins stand resolute to preserve what we are looking for. 1876". Ben interprets that second clue to refer to two desks made from the timbers of the Resolute, a British ship trapped in ice during an Arctic exploration. One of the desks now sits in the Queen's study at Buckingham Palace, London. The other is the desk of the President of the United States sitting in the Oval Office at the White House. Ben's referring to the fact that, when the monarch of England is not in residence at Buckingham Palace, the Union Jack is displayed. When the Queen is in residence, her royal flag is displayed. Since the Queen wasn't in residence, her royal flag was not flying. Emily deciphers the carved wooden plank found in the Queen's Resolute desk as Olmec writing meaning, Find the noble bird, let him take you by the hand and give you passage to the sacred temple. She concludes that the reference is to Cibola, the City of Gold. But the reference is incomplete without the plank from the President's desk. Unfortunately, that plank was found by President Calvin Coolidge [1872-1933] and destroyed. The only clue to its message lies in the Book of Secrets. This is from a book that Ben reads aloud: In 1527, a Spanish ship wrecked on the Florida coast. There were only four survivors. One was a slave named Esteban who saved a local tribe's dying chief. As a reward, he was taken to their sacred city, a city built from solid gold. Later, when Esteban tried to find the city again, he never could. But the legend grew, and every explorer came to the new world in search of it. When General Custer's search for gold ended at his last stand at Little Big Horn, it became clear none would ever find it. Ben believes that, if the cipher on the diary page leads to Cibola, the City of Gold, this would prove that Thomas Gates threw the page into the fire to prevent the Confederates from finding the gold (a treasure that might have changed the outcome of the Civil War), not to coverup the names of the conspirators in the Lincoln assassination. The President (<a href="/name/nm0339304/">Bruce Greenwood</a>) mentions that he was an Architecture History major at Yale, so secret passageways (especially under such a historical site as Mount Vernon) would be of extraordinary interest to him. Coupled with this is the fact that Ben was famous (based on the previous movie) for exploring old buildings, national treasures, and such. In light of this, Ben would be the closest thing to an expert. Therefore, the President would probably feel safe with him. Besides, it was only a little jaunt into the cellar, and the President's guard was behind him the whole time. Ben and Mitch finally meet up at Mount Rushmore and agree to work together to find the treasure. Ben finds the "islands of stone" and Mitch adds the last clue: The answer will only be revealed under a cloudless rain. Sprinkling the rocks with their water bottles, they uncover the figure of an eagle. The final clue, possessed by Mitch, say to "surrender your hand to the heart of the warrior." Ben sticks his hand in the hole in the middle of the eagle, pulls a lever, and a rock doorway opens. Ben and Mitch, accompanied by Abigail (<a href="/name/nm1208167/">Diane Kruger</a>), Riley (<a href="/name/nm0058581/">Justin Bartha</a>), Patrick (<a href="/name/nm0000685/">Jon Voight</a>), and Emily (<a href="/name/nm0000545/">Helen Mirren</a>), make their way into the cave, encountering several traps along the way. Patrick and Emily get separated, but they all end up at the same place—Cibola, the City of Gold. Mitch apologizes for smearing the name of Thomas Gates and explains that it was the only way he could get Ben to join in the search. Suddenly water starts seeping into the city, threatening to block their way out. Noticing that the water seems to be draining, they follow it to a drainage tunnel beneath the city. One person will have to stay behind, however, in order to hold open the stone door. Mitch demands to go first by holding a knife to Abigail's neck, so Ben agrees to stay behind. Everyone gets out except for Mitch and Ben, who become trapped because of the current. Ben is stuck in the door, and Mitch is the only one who can open it. Mitch decides to open the door, letting the current push Ben through but asks Ben to let the world know that it was he (Mitch) who found Cibola. Ben is immediately taken into custody by FBI special agent Sandusky (<a href="/name/nm0000172/">Harvey Keitel</a>), but the President exonerates him by explaining that Ben did not kidnap him but actually saved his life when the door accidentally closed in the secret tunnel they were exploring. He shows Ben an article for tomorrow's newspaper that names Thomas Gates a national hero and asks him whether he read page 47 on the Book of Secrets. Ben nods and replies, "It's life altering." Everyone, including Mitch Wilkinson, is given credit for finding the City of Gold, Emily can be seen later cataloging the treasures, and Ben and Abigail get back together. In the final scene, Riley sees his red Ferrari bearing a note from the President reading, "Tax free". He jumps in, starts up the engine, and backs into the car behind him. It is never made clear in the movie what was on page 47, and some speculate that it exists as a cliffhanger solely to set up another sequel. On the DVD commentary, director <a href="/name/nm0005509/">Jon Turteltaub</a> thrice says something about the contents of page 47, but his microphone fails mysteriously all three times. He also rebuffs the sequel theory, saying that the references to page 47 exist to show how much the President began to trust Ben Gates and to establish a closeness between the characters. Mitch wanted to be acclaimed for finding Cibola, but he knew that tricking Ben into find it for him would be much easier, especially if there were any brushes with the law. There were two aircraft in the hangar, both A-3 Skywarriors. The plane was versatile, filling the roles of both bomber and tanker during the Vietnam War and as a spy plane during the Cold War. It was retired from service in 1991. a5c7b9f00b
