National Treasure (2004) Synopsis: As the movie opens, the young Benjamin Franklin Gates (Hunter Gomez) is snooping around an attic when his grandfather, John Adams Gates (Christopher Plummer) catches him. National Treasure 2004 Ben wants to hear the story of the Gates family history, so his grandfather begins reciting:
In 1832, Charles Carroll --- the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence --- traveled to the White House, desperate to speak with President Jackson before his death. National Treasure 2004 But, since the President wasn't at the White House that night, Carroll had no choice but to share his closely-guarded secret with his stable boy, Ben's ancestor, Thomas Gates. National Treasure 2004 Carroll told Gates about a fabulous treasure that had existed throughout history, collected by pharaohs and emperors for hundreds of years before being discovered by a group called the Knights Templar. National Treasure 2004 The Knights believed the treasure to be too great for any one man, so they secretly smuggled it out of Europe and over to America. National Treasure 2004 By the time the treasure had been taken to America, the Revolutionary War was raging. National Treasure 2004 The Knights had formed a secondary group called the Freemasons, had recruited members like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere, and had formulated a number of secret clues and maps in a desperate attempt to keep the treasure from falling into the hands of the British. National Treasure 2004 As the war ended and time went on, all of the clues were lost except one, the clue belonging to Charles Carroll: "The Secret Lies With Charlotte." Sadly, even Carroll himself didn't know the meaning of that clue.
John's son and Ben's father, Patrick Gates (Jon Voight), comes in to take Ben home. National Treasure 2004 He is obviously skeptical about the existence of the treasure. National Treasure 2004 Ben asks if the Gates family are actually Knights. National Treasure 2004 John does an impromptu ritual, and pronounces Ben to be a Knight Templar to the family Gates.
Many years later, the adult Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) and his team of researches are traveling across the Arctic Circle. National Treasure 2004 Fellow travelers include the financial backer Ian Howe (Sean Bean) and Ben's friend Riley Poole (Justin Bartha). National Treasure 2004 The group stumbles across a figure buried in the ice. National Treasure 2004 They carve it out using special tools, and find the remains of a ship: the "Charlotte." Ben leads them inside, but the ship's cargo hold only holds barrels with gunpowder... National Treasure 2004 except for one barrel that is guarded by the captain's corpse; the preserved hand holding a musket. National Treasure 2004 Ben opens the barrel and uncovers a carved ivory meerschaum pipe. National Treasure 2004 He discovers a stamp-like imprint on the pipe's base. National Treasure 2004 Coating it with a little of his blood, he rolls the imprint along a paper, and unearths a riddle: "The legend writ, the stain affected. National Treasure 2004 The key in Silence undetected. National Treasure 2004 Fifty-five in iron pen, Mr. National Treasure 2004 Matlack can't offend."
Ben deciphers the riddle step by step: The key and legend both refer to a map, and the stain affected and key in Silence undetected, is a dye or reagent needed to make the next clue visible to the naked eye. National Treasure 2004 Iron refers to a firm resolution, and Timothy Matlack was the scribe for the Continental Congress; 55 members of which signed a resolution that Mr. National Treasure 2004 Matlack penned... National Treasure 2004 the Declaration of Independence. National Treasure 2004 Ian Howe wants to find a way to take a closer look at the document, but Ben is unwilling to take the chance to get close to such a historical artifact. National Treasure 2004 Ian thinks they should steal the Declaration to find the map and the treasure, but Ben flatly refuses. National Treasure 2004 Ian finally turns on Ben and Riley, stealing the pipe and stranding them while setting the Charlotte to blow up. National Treasure 2004 Ben & Riley escape harm and head back to civilization.
Back in the United States, Ben and Riley are meeting with Dr. National Treasure 2004 Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger), an expert in historical documents in charge of the Declaration. National Treasure 2004 Ben uses the alias "Paul Brown" because his family's history doesn't allow for much respect in the academic world. National Treasure 2004 Ben notices that Abigail has a collection of George Washington's campaign buttons but is missing one. National Treasure 2004 Riley and Ben attempt to convince Abigail that someone is attempting to steal the Declaration of Independence because of an invisible treasure map (something they have attempted to convince both the FBI and the DHS and failed). National Treasure 2004 Abigail does not believe them either and sends them out.
Ben decides there is only one option: He and Riley have to steal the Declaration to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. National Treasure 2004 Ben figures out the best way through the security systems would be during an event hosted by the National Archives later that week. National Treasure 2004 Riley manages to patch into the security systems so he can guide Ben through the theft. National Treasure 2004 In the meantime, Ben sends Dr. National Treasure 2004 Chase the missing button for her collection as a gift.
The night of the gala event, Ben manages to infiltrate the gallery disguised in a work uniform with Riley speaking to him over a tiny two-way radio. National Treasure 2004 He quickly switches to a tuxedo and speaks with Dr. National Treasure 2004 Chase, offering her a glass of champagne in order to get her thumbprint, which opens a security door for him. National Treasure 2004 As Ben gets inside, Ian and his group also prepare to infiltrate and take the document.
Ben gets into the Preservation Room with Dr. National Treasure 2004 Chase's password ("Valley Forge") and stands before the Declaration. National Treasure 2004 Just then, Ian's group cuts the security feed, disrupting Riley's video. National Treasure 2004 With no time to lose, Ben takes the entire Declaration case and leaves-only to come face to face with Ian. National Treasure 2004 Ian's henchman shoots at Ben, but it is blocked by the Declaration's bulletproof case. National Treasure 2004 As Ben gets into the elevator, he removes the Declaration from the case and carries it with him. National Treasure 2004 Abigail checks the invitation list and finds that the name Ben used, Paul Brown, isn't on it. National Treasure 2004 Understanding that Abigail is on to him, Ben ducks into a gift shop to escape her notice. National Treasure 2004 He is stopped by a gift shop attendant who thinks he is attempting to steal one of their replica souvenirs. National Treasure 2004 Without enough cash to actually buy one, Ben has no choice but to use his VISA card.
As Ben makes it outside, he is confronted by Abigail --- just as the security alarms go off. National Treasure 2004 Ben tosses the souvenir at her and runs. National Treasure 2004 Abigail is then abducted by Ian, because his team thinks she has the Declaration. National Treasure 2004 Ben and Riley chase after her through downtown Washington, saving Abigail as Ian speeds off.
In Riley's van, Abigail is hysterical until Ben shows her that he has the actual Declaration. National Treasure 2004 Ben also confesses his real name and Abigail recognizes it as "that family with the conspiracy theory about the Founding Fathers."
Back at the National Archives, FBI Agents led by Peter Sadusky (Harvey Keitel) are investigating the theft. National Treasure 2004 Based on the bullets fired, they believe that there were two sets of agents acting in this theft. National Treasure 2004 Sadusky looks up the security files and sees Ben paying with his VISA in the gift shop.
Ben knows they need the Silence Dogood Letters (a pseudonym used in a set of letters written by Benjamin Franklin) for decoding the map (that is the "Key in Silence undetected" mentioned by the riddle.) Since they no longer have the duplicates, they will have to speak with the man who has the originals --- Ben's father.
Patrick is not in any mood to discuss the treasure. National Treasure 2004 He believes that the treasure was merely something invented by Freemasons to keep the British forces occupied during the Revolutionary War.
Ben, Abigail, and Riley finally look at the Declaration of Independence. National Treasure 2004 Abigail carefully swabs some lemon juice along one corner of the back, looking accusingly at Ben when nothing happens. National Treasure 2004 But Patrick reminds them that ferrous sulfate inks only become visible when heat is applied. National Treasure 2004 Ben and Abigail use a blow dryer, and find an Ottendorf cipher referring to lines from Silence Dogood's letters. National Treasure 2004 Patrick explains that he no longer has the letters: they were donated to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. National Treasure 2004 When Patrick finds out that Ben has stolen the Declaration, he is speechless. National Treasure 2004 He knows the FBI will be coming to see him soon, so he and Ben come up with an idea to make it look like he wasn't aiding and helping a wanted fugitive.
The FBI storms Patrick's house, finding Patrick tied up and his car missing. National Treasure 2004 Ben and the others are driving to Philadelphia, and Ben decides they should buy some new clothes with the money he took from his father's house.
When they arrive at Philadelphia, Riley (fearful of being spotted) pays a schoolchild to go in and collect the letters for the cipher. National Treasure 2004 Spotting Ian, Riley bolts before he can get the last four letters. National Treasure 2004 Riley catches up to Ben and Abigail (now in new clothes) and shares the new riddle: "The vision to see the treasured past, comes as the timely shadow crosses in front of the house of Pass and..." Riley figures out that the last line is "Stow," referring to Pass & Stow; the casters of the Liberty Bell. National Treasure 2004 Ben thinks the "timely shadow" refers to a specific time they need to be at the Liberty Bell. National Treasure 2004 Looking at a picture of the Bell on the back of a $100 bill, Ben figures that the time is 2:22 pm. National Treasure 2004 Since it is now just 3pm, Ben thinks they have missed it. National Treasure 2004 Riley, surprised that he knows something about history that Ben doesn't know, points out that Daylight Savings Time didn't exist in America until World War One; thus, 3pm today would be 2pm in 1776.
In the meantime, Ian, who'd seen the schoolboy and gotten suspicious, has bribed him to tell Ian what he'd been doing. National Treasure 2004 The schoolboy gives Ian the last four letters, S-T-O-W, and googles it, finding the reference to the Liberty Bell.
Ben watches the "timely shadow" fall across the courtyard and finds a brick inscribed with the Freemason's symbol. National Treasure 2004 He carves it out to find an Ocular Device designed by Benjamin Franklin. National Treasure 2004 He puts it on and looks at the map to see the words "Heere at the Wall." Just then, they spot Ian and his group approaching. National Treasure 2004 They split up to try and get away, but Ian ends up getting the Declaration. National Treasure 2004 Ben decides they should meet up again at the car, but he is captured by Federal agents upon his return.
Ben explains the story to Sadusky, who is skeptical. National Treasure 2004 Sadusky asks Ben for his help in recovering the Declaration for them. National Treasure 2004 As Sadusky examines the Ocular Device, Ben realizes that there may be more to the map. National Treasure 2004 Ben gets a call on a cell phone from Ian, who wants the Ocular Device and offers to meet with Ben. National Treasure 2004 The FBI will use this opportunity to arrest Ian and get back the Declaration.
In New York, Ben is on the deck of a battleship with FBI agents undercover all around him. National Treasure 2004 A helicopter flies overhead while one of Ian's henchmen talks to Ben (they used the copter to talk without the FBI observing). National Treasure 2004 Ben walks over to the edge of of the ship's deck and jumps into the Hudson River. National Treasure 2004 As he sinks, a figure in a scuba suit gives Ben an oxygen valve and escorts him to safety.
Ian meets with Ben as he comes out of the water with the Declaration and the Charlotte pipe and explains that the meet-up was a ruse to get Ben out of FBI custody. National Treasure 2004 Ian has made a deal with Riley and Abigail: if he gets Ben out of FBI custody, they will lead Ian directly to the treasure. National Treasure 2004 Ben, with Riley and Abigail observing at an Internet Cafe, takes Ian to a corner of Broadway and Wall Street, telling hims this is where the map leads: "Heere at the Wall;" Heere being the original Dutch name for Broadway.
Ian knows that Ben isn't telling him everything, and he has a contingency plan: He has kidnapped Ben's father and is holding him as a hostage. National Treasure 2004 Ben relents, telling Ian they need to go to Trinity Church (the logo of which was marked by the map's last clue.)
At the Church, Ben and Ian view the Declaration through all three lenses of the Ocular Device, and see the words "Beneath Parkington Lane." They figure out that it refers to an ancient street once located beneath the church. National Treasure 2004 While exploring the church, they find the name "Parkington Lane" engraved on a tombstone of a master Mason. National Treasure 2004 Ian's cronies remove the coffin (destroying the remains in the process) and find a long tunnel. National Treasure 2004 When they reach the bottom, Ben kisses Abigail in an attempt to apologize to her.
They find a huge set of stairs and a dumbwaiter. National Treasure 2004 Upon reaching the bottom, they find an empty room. National Treasure 2004 Riley wonders what to do next and asks Ben to help them. National Treasure 2004 Ben, despondent, snaps and says they are at a dead end. National Treasure 2004 Ian threatens to shoot Ben unless he reveals the next clue. National Treasure 2004 Patrick saves his son by pointing out a lantern hanging in the temple- referring to the lantern in Old North Church in Boston hung during the night of Paul Revere's ride. National Treasure 2004 Ian decides to leave them there and go to Boston; he will only come back if he needs any more help.
As Ian leaves, Abigail quickly points out that there were TWO lanterns in Old North Church, not one, because the British came by sea. National Treasure 2004 Patrick explains that he lied and gave Ian a fake clue to get away. National Treasure 2004 Ben, examining the room, finds an eye symbol on a wall with a slight raised area and deduces that there is indeed another way out of there. National Treasure 2004 They press the raised area, and another door opens into another larger, but still empty, room.
Ben is devastated. National Treasure 2004 He thinks that the treasure is gone and may have even been moved long before the Gates family learned of it. National Treasure 2004 Ben thinks that he has wasted everything. National Treasure 2004 Patrick, on the other hand, is inspired- the very fact that such a room exists proves that the treasure is indeed real.
The Gates' and Abigail vow to keep looking, but Riley points out that they are still trapped. National Treasure 2004 Ben explains that the setup doesn't make sense; builders would've cut a secondary entry shaft to protect against cave-ins during the construction. National Treasure 2004 Ben sees several Freemason symbols engraved on another wall. National Treasure 2004 One of them is a hollow carving resembling the Meerschaum pipe found aboard the Charlotte... National Treasure 2004 'The Secret lies with Charlotte.' Ben takes the pipe's base apart from its bowl and inserts the bowl into the hollow; using the shaft as a handle. National Treasure 2004 He then rotates the hollow; which opens another door.
The travelers enter a room filled with golden goblets, suits of armor, and other ancient relics. National Treasure 2004 Ben lights a torch in the middle and they see that the room is truly enormous, filled with tens of thousands of artifacts. National Treasure 2004 Patrick rejoices: the treasure has been found! Riley is equally happy; he sees the stairs to get out of there.
Ben meets up with Agent Sadusky and hands over the Declaration of Independence. National Treasure 2004 Ben offers Sadusky a "bribe--" ten billion dollars (his approximation of the treasure's worth). National Treasure 2004 Sadusky recites a quote from the Freemasons about the treasure being too great for any one man; revealing that he is actually one of the Freemasons as well (Ben looks down and sees a Freemason's ring on Sadusky's finger). National Treasure 2004 Sadusky asks Ben what will be done with the treasure. National Treasure 2004 Ben decides that the treasure will be given to the entire world; donated to its most prestigious museums and historical societies (Smithsonian, Louvre, Cairo Museum). National Treasure 2004 Ben gives credit to the entire Gates family and Riley Poole for the find, and insists that Abigail had nothing to do with the theft and should have no bad marks on her record. National Treasure 2004 Ben is desperate to avoid going to prison, but Sadusky repeats, "Somebody's got to go to prison."
In Boston, Ian is breaking into Old North Church when the FBI comes in to arrest him-for kidnapping, attempted murder, and trespassing on government property.
Three months later, Ben and Abigail are dating, and Riley is acting as the group's agent. National Treasure 2004 They've been invited to the grand opening of the treasure exhibits that have been donated to the Cairo Museum. National Treasure 2004 Riley is still upset about their "finder's fee:" Ben was offered 10% of the treasure's worth, but believed that amount was too high and took only 1%, split evenly with Riley. National Treasure 2004 Riley has used part of his money to buy a swanky new Ferrari while Ben has bought a house that once belonged to Charles Carroll.
