A National Treasure

As I was flipping through the channels I stumbled across the movie National Treasure. I didn’t think it was that good of a movie, especially since Nicholas Cage was in it, but I was wrong. The movie was actually really good. The plot kept me thinking and was actually a very intelligent movie. It was similar to the hit TV show House, where you are trying to solve a mystery and keep guessing along with the characters and you never know the end result until it actually happens.

The movie is about a guy named Ben Gates and his sidekick Riley, who are after a mythical treasure. This treasure was hidden by our founding fathers and they must go from clue to clue to find the treasure. In the beginning they realize they need to get the Declaration of Independence because there is a “treasure map” on the back of it. After much conflict Ben ends up with the Declaration of independence and finds a cipher, on the back of it that leads him to another clue in the Philadelphia museum. After a series of clues in Philadelphia, Ben ends up with a clue that leads him to Wall St. and Broadway. From there he gets into a lot of trouble and in the end…. Well you got to find out for yourself. They made a sequel to the movie, but that’s for another blog entry, so stay tuned
