Good Movie for Popcorn Eating!

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2008)

Oscar winner Nicholas Cage is the leading role about a descendant of one of Ben Franklin's closest friends. Cage's character, Gates, is seeking the treasure that his family has been searching for. The movie begins with the wonderful Christopher Plummer (one of today's finest actors on stage, film or television) as his grandfather and Oscar winner Jon Voight as his father. Gates believes that there is a conspiracy to steal the original declaration of independence from Washington D.C. by thieves who seek the treasure. He decides to take it before they do. They are hot on his trail and he takes a female love interest and antique document restorer along for the ride with a trusty male sidekick. They uncover one clue which leads to another. I love the location scenery like in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. It's a great thrill ride to watch but not take literally.
