Fun action-adventure movie

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2005)

National Treasure is a great action film. Nicolas Cage plays Ben Gates, a man whose family has had a history of treasure hunting. They believe that America's founding fathers have hidden a treasure somewhere, and left clues for us to find it.
When Ben grows up, he searches for the treasure himself. Ben and three other companions start their journey in a tomb of some sort. When a disagreement comes upon them, two of the members betray Ben, and leave him stranded with Riley. Ben and Riley challenge the two traitors to see who can get to the treasure first.
Heart-pounding action scenes and mystery elements make up the movie. The characters find clues which lead to more clues, which eventually lead to the treasure. Though a bit boring at time, the movie still holds up as an entertaining popcorn movie, which was underrated by the critics.
6.5/10
