National Treasure: Book of Secrets

This fast-paced adventure blends a historical treasure hunt with a conspiracy thriller, rooted in the anxieties surrounding American historical narratives and legacy. Rather than simply seeking gold, Benjamin Gates embarks on a quest to clear his family name, unraveling a secret history connected to the Lincoln assassination and a hidden formula within founding documents. The film’s exhilarating core isn’t the deciphering of clues, but the increasingly frantic race against a shadowy society determined to exploit the same historical secrets for their own purposes, leading to a breathless chase across iconic landmarks from Washington D.C. to London and Paris. It’s a playfully self-aware, lighthearted take on historical revisionism, emphasizing the dynamic between a resourceful team navigating both ancient riddles and strained ex-husband/ex-wife dynamics.
