National Treasure
PG
Official Website
Overall Grade: C+
So I saw this one at the Newman outdoor movie night ages ago. It has some good parts. No stellar acting, but what can you expect from a Disney movie? The history in terms of the masons, knights templar and well, history in general this movie is just riddled with problems. But if you have to plunk some younger sibs or other miscellaneous children in front of a movie for a while, it ain't so bad. Plot: There is an enormous horde of treasure from all parts of the world and history hidden somewhere in the US by the founding fathers of the nation. They also hid secret clues to the location of this treasure on important revolutionary documents and the national currency. Of course, it would take some as crazy enough as Nicholas Cage's character to throw self-respect and professional dignity to the wind to look for and find this treasure. Joining him is the dorky computer guy (comic-relief) and a curator from the national archives (love interest). Oh, yeah, and it would nearly be an adventure if there weren't bad guys who are also trying to track down the treasure at the same time.
