National Treasure (Full Screen Edition) description
Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids, National Treasure offers popcorn thrills and enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness. Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man's rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, it's entertaining on its own ludicrous terms, and Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor's infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins. The contrived plot involves Cage's present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past and present. Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back, of course!), so you can add "caper comedy" to this Jerry Bruckheimer production's multi-genre appeal. Nobody will ever accuse director Jon Turtletaub of artistic ambition, but you've got to admit he serves up an enjoyable dose of PG-rated entertainment, full of musty clues, skeletons, deep tunnels, and harmless adventure in the old-school tradition. It's a load of hokum, but it's fun hokum, and that makes all the difference. --Jeff Shannon

National Treasure (Full Screen Edition) Customer Reviews

Fun Movie

This is a great holiday treat, especially since the inevitable sequel is now out...

The premise is spotty: that there is a treasure map on the back of the Declaration of Independence. This, of course, requires that the document be stolen so it can be examined.

Heart-stopping moments are when this precious document is being thrown around, dropped into the street, etc.

Of the two movies, this one is at once more exciting and, if you can believe it, more credible.

It also teaches valuable historical lessons, albeit through the distorting lens of fiction. Perhaps that's one of the most distressing qualities: can kids distinguish between historical fact and made-up stuff? As always, extended dialogue after the movie's over is indicated. Adults should carefully separate fact from fiction for the benefit of younger viewers.

That being said, the film's a real blast.
