剧情介绍：
这个故事围绕一位拥有麻省理工学院的机械工程学位和乔治城的美国历史学位的历史学家和业余密码破译家Benjamin Franklin Gates
(Nicolas Cage 饰)展开，他来自一连串的寻宝者，他们相信一个美国开国元勋们隐藏珍贵的文物和黄金的传说
除了少数人之外已经被遗忘了。1832年，Charles Carroll 是独立宣言的最后活着的签字人，他给了Ben 的曾祖父Thomas Gates
(Jason Earles 饰)第一条线索，他说：“这个秘密在夏洛特。”1974年，Ben 的祖父John Adams Gates (Christopher
Plummer 饰)给了Ben 这条线索......
The story centers on Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage), a historian and
amateur cryptologist with a mechanical engineering degree from MIT and an
American history degree from Georgetown who comes from a long line of treasure
hunters that believe in the legend of a fantastic treasure trove of artifacts
and gold, hidden by the Founding Fathers of the United States, and forgotten to
all but a few. The first clue was given to Ben's great grandfather Thomas Gates
(Jason Earles) in 1832 by Charles Carroll, the last living signer of the
Declaration of Independence, saying, "The secret lies with Charlotte." Ben is
given this clue in 1974 by his grandfather, John Adams Gates (Christopher
Plummer). Though John is too old to search anymore and his son and Ben's father,
Patrick Henry Gates (Jon Voight), has stopped believing in the legend, Ben
swears that he will take up the Gates family quest.
Thirty years later, using computerised arctic weather models, Ben, with his
friend Riley Poole (Justin Bartha) and financier Ian Howe (Sean Bean), finds the
wreckage of a Colonial ship, the Charlotte, containing a meerschaum pipe
engraved with a riddle. After examining the riddle, Ben deduces that the next
clue is on the back of the Declaration of Independence. While Ben sees gaining
access to such a highly guarded artifact as an obstacle, Ian finds no problem in
stealing it (he says he only wants to "borrow" it). This results in a standoff,
during which the ship's gunpowder is accidentally ignited. Ian and his assistant
Shaw escape and the Charlotte explodes with Ben and Riley hiding inside a
smuggler's hold. After Ian rides off in their snowcats, Ben and Riley escape the
Arctic as they walk to an Inuit village not far and take a flight back home.
Ben and Riley attempt to warn the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI,
and Dr. Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger) at the National Archives in Washington,
D.C., but no one takes them seriously, believing the Declaration of Independence
to be too heavily guarded to be under any threat. Ben thinks otherwise, and
decides to steal it to keep it from Ian. Ben and Riley manage to steal the
Declaration during a 70th anniversary gala, just before Ian arrives. Dr. Chase
sees Ben with the Declaration and is tricked by him to take a replica that he
just bought, but she is kidnapped by Ian, who thinks she has the real
declaration, and Ben and Riley have to engage in a car chase to rescue her. Ian
gets the Declaration, but then discovers that he took the replica. As Dr. Chase
will not leave without the Declaration, and Ben will not let her leave with it,
she is forced to go along with them.
Ben realises the FBI is likely already at his home. He and Riley agree that
the only place to go would be his father's house, since he has Silence Dogood
letters, written by Benjamin Franklin. Despite Patrick's disbelief in the
treasure (he wasted 20 years looking for it and never found it), Ben manages to
reveal an Ottendorf cipher on the back of the Declaration, with Abigail
performing the test herself, since she is trained to handle antique documents.
The ciphers referr to characters in the letters, which Ben's father donated to
the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Patrick is curious too, although very
cynical about the clue and shocked when he discovers what they're running tests
on.
The coded message in the letters leads them to Independence Hall in
Philadelphia. They look at the clock tower on the back of a $100 bill for the
time, but believe they are too late for the tower's shadow alignment (at 2:22)
with the correct place to find the next clue. Riley points out that daylight
saving time wasn't invented until after the image on the back of the bill was
made (although he takes a while to do it, because he wants to take in the moment
of knowing something that Ben and Abigail didn't). There they find special
bifocals invented by Benjamin Franklin inside a hollow brick from the building.
Ben examines the back of the Declaration with the glasses to find another clue.
After a short chase, Ian gets the Declaration from Riley and Abigail, and the
FBI arrests Ben, who has the glasses.
When the FBI attempts to use Ben as bait to get the Declaration back, Ian
arranges to have him escape by jumping from the deck of the USS Intrepid, into
the Hudson River, a feat not too difficult for Ben, a graduate of the Navy
Diving and Salvage Training Center. Using Patrick, Riley, and Abigail as
leverage, Ian forces Ben to interpret the clue on the back of the declaration, a
reference to a secret chamber under Trinity Church in New York City. As the
group explores the chamber, a structural collapse causes Shaw to fall to his
death. When they arrive at a seemingly dead end, Patrick makes up another clue
to keep Ian going, telling him a lantern is the clue that leads to the Old North
Church in Boston, referencing Paul Revere's ride. Ian goes to Boston with his
men, leaving everyone else in the caverns.
After Ian leaves, Ben reveals there must be another exit through the treasure
room. They find a secret passage into another chamber. To their disappointment,
they find it empty, and assume that the treasure was already moved. While Ben is
discouraged, the others all vow to keep looking, including his father, whose
faith in the treasure was restored by the discovery. Ben then realises another
exit must have been created in case of cave-ins. Ben examines the walls of the
room, to find a hole the shape of the pipe from the Charlotte. This lock opens a
door into the true treasure room, containing artifacts from many periods of
history.
When they leave through the second exit and the FBI arrives after Ben calls
them, Ben discovers that the chief investigator, Special agent Peter Sadusky
(Harvey Keitel), is wearing a Freemason's ring. Ben proposes to give the
treasure to various museums around the world, with credit being given to the
entire Gates family and Riley, with Dr. Chase not being penalized for the theft
of the Declaration, and Ben not going to prison. However, Sadusky says that
someone has to go to prison for the theft of the Declaration, so they fly to
Boston, where Ian and his men are attempting to break into the Old North Church.
FBI agents emerge from hiding and arrest them under charges of "kidnapping,
attempted murder, and trespassing on government property." Ian realizes he was
tricked, especially when he sees Ben nearby.
The film ends with Riley, Abigail, and Ben discussing another museum opening
where they've been invited. Riley mentions that Ben was offered ten percent of
the treasure's worth, but Ben says that would have been too much. The one
percent he accepted, and split with Riley, was enough for Ben and Abigail to buy
the mansion once owned by Charles Carroll (where Thomas Gates worked for him).
Riley drives off in his new red Ferrari 360 Spider. Abigail gives Ben a map; he
asks where it leads, and she gives him a suggestive smile and they run towards
the house.
