10/4-10/8 - National Treasure


National Treasure has to be my favorite movie. It was released in 2004. The cast consisted of Nicholas Cage as Benjamin Gates, the main character of the movie. Ben Gates comes from a family of treasure hunters. Now Gates thinks that the forefathers treasure is buried somewhere in the United States. Gates tries to find the clues, but the only problem with that is the clues are very cryptic and scattered all over the country. Gates has almost all of them but he is still missing the actual map. To his disdain, he learns that the last clue is on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Naturally, he is going to have a difficult time obtaining this crucial clue, but to make his life harder, someone else wants it too!! Gates’ financier, Ian Howe, (part played by Sean bean) wants to get to the treasure before Gates does. Ian is the main antagonist of the film. He plans to get to the treasure before gates so that he can keep all of it for himself and get rich. Gates ends up with the treasure and Ian ends up in prison.
