Plot introduction
Ben Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) is an adventurer who loves archaeology. At an early age, Ben's grandfather john adams Gates (played by christopher plummer) told him a shocking secret. At that time, the United States launched a war of independence with Britain in order to strive for independence and founding the country. Only after the victory of the war did the United States succeed in founding the country. At that time, there were a number of treasures in the United States as war preparedness savings, which were buried somewhere by the founding fathers of the United States, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. So far, no one knows where this lost national treasure is. The secret of the location of the buried treasure is hidden in the symbol of the dollar and the Declaration of Independence, which have created the democratic system of modern human society.
In fact, Ben's father also knows the story of the treasure. He thinks the Gates family is too tightly bound by this secret. As the seventh generation descendant of the family, he resolutely decided to stop the crazy idea of treasure hunting. But Ben, who dreamed of finding treasure since childhood, didn't think so. This secret has haunted his mind for twenty years, and now he has decided to realize this dream. Ben began to actively prepare for the goal. In order to find the treasure better, he found a like-minded friend, computer expert Raleigh (justin bartha), and together they searched for this national treasure that had been sleeping for more than 200 years.
However, it is not only Ben who knows the secret of this treasure, but also many people who are interested in it. Ian (sean bean), a wealthy British adventurer, is also eyeing this huge wealth. He is also actively looking for the place to bury these treasures, and has repeatedly attacked his competitor Ben to stop his actions. In order to find the burial place of the treasure first, I decided to personally visit Dr. Abigail (diane kruger), who has been devoted to protecting and studying the Declaration of Independence, hoping Abigail can help him solve the mystery of the burial place.
But Abigail doesn't like Ben very much. She is full of wariness and hostility towards Ben and doesn't intend to help him. However, because Ian and his men sneaked into the National Archives, Abigail's attitude changed quickly, and she decided to stand on her side. So the two quickly reached a tacit understanding and decided to deal with the treacherous Ian together. However, there is another force involved in this incident. The FBI agent headed by Cedsky (Harvey Kate) has long been eyeing Ben, and he has been included in the FBI's pursuit list. On the one hand, he wants to avoid the pursuit of FBI agents, on the other hand, he has to deal with his ruthless opponent Ian and decipher the unsolved mystery in front of Ian. As a result, a treasure-grabbing campaign of three forces around the national treasure began.
Wonderful comments
The greatest adventure in history.
In order to crack the password, one must break all the rules.
The clue is right in front of you.
The procrastination is lengthy and the plot is not small.

Behind the scenes production
Jerry Bruckheimer, the Hollywood gold medal producer who starred in this movie, said, "When you want to make a treasure hunt movie, I think it should be based on real history. We chose a very simple thing as a starting point, just like a dollar bill, we use it every day, but we have never carefully observed it. We revealed the hidden secret. After watching this movie, you will look at the dollar from a new perspective. " Director jon turteltaub added: "Although our story is fictional, it is inextricably linked with the real elements. Creativity comes from real things, which makes the story more attractive to the audience. "
The story of National Treasure was originally conceived by Oren Aviv, the marketing director of Weber Film Company, and his creative partner Charles Seigas. Their initial idea was that the American Declaration of Independence was found to contain a secret treasure map. This vital document was in danger, and a man was forced to steal the Declaration of Independence. Yves said: "This should be the boldest action to win the treasure, and we think it is very suitable for making an action adventure film." Segars added: "The more we explore this idea, the more excited we are. We not only try to describe how a thief stole the Declaration of Independence, but also pay more and more attention to the treasure map. We began to imagine where the treasure came from, why and how it was buried for centuries. "
Ivy and Seigas found the director jon turteltaub and producer Christina Steinberg with their ideas. From 65438 to 0998, screenwriter Jim Kouf began to write screenplays. At the same time, Detduba's joining attracted the interest of producer Jerry Bruckheimer: "jon turteltaub is the director we have been looking for cooperation for many years, and his films always contain a lot of humor and human touch. I think he is the best person to direct this film. "
The script took a long time to complete, and the screenwriter Jim Kouf only spent 9 to 10 months studying the Declaration of Independence and various treasure-hunting legends in the United States, so many historical events were added to the script. Two other screenwriters, Cormac Wibberley and Marianne Wibberley, added mystery and adventure to the script. When studying historical materials, they chose the most legendary "Knights Templar" treasure in history as the background. As the most powerful secret organization in the world in the 1 1 century, the Templars were stationed in the Solomon Temple in Jerusalem. It is said that the Templars hoarded a lot of treasures. Later, in the14th century, their property suddenly showed no signs of disappearing. Today, treasure hunters all over the world still yearn for this treasure, especially in the United States. "Many people think that these treasures were taken to North America," Cormac said. "Some people even speculated that Christopher Columbus was a Templar."
With the deepening of research, the * * * Economic Association began to enter the line of sight of screenwriters. This secret society, which gathered elites, used to deliver letters with hard-to-decipher passwords and invisible ink. * * * The sign of the aid society was hidden and engraved in the building, and the location of the hidden treasure was disguised very secretly. Marianne continued: "We were surprised to find that the Templars later became members of the * * * Freemasons. Some founding fathers of the United States, including Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, were members of the * * * Freemasons. Of course, we don't know whether these founding fathers knew the treasure of the Templar, but until now, the treasure hunt in North America has been very active. franklin delano roosevelt was a treasure hunter when he was young. "
In order to make the script reflect the truth as much as possible, the creative staff once consulted the real treasure hunters and found some experts in password cracking, thinking that the protagonist designed various problems. Brooke Harmo also invited a crime expert to help him design the theft plan of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence is displayed in the National Archives of the United States in Washington, D.C. It is protected by the most advanced technology and the highest level of security measures, so the producer specially consulted people in the industry on how to get into this heavily guarded building, and then proceeded completely according to their ideas in the filming. Among these experts, there is Don Ferrarone, a former US Drug Enforcement Agency agent who later became a film producer, and Harry Humphries, a former Navy SEAL who works as a technical consultant for Brook Hammer's films.
This film is Nicolas Cage's fourth collaboration with Brooke Harmo after Brave Island, con air and Speed 60 Seconds. Director jon turteltaub is Cage's alumnus in Beverly Hills Middle School. They also study drama in the same class. The friendship between the three people provides a strong guarantee for tacit cooperation.
Brooke Harmo and Detduba chose many historical sites as shooting locations. In the post-9. 1 1 era, it is not easy to shoot in sensitive areas, and executive producer Barry Valdman is responsible for the location coordination.
Although the crew got permission to shoot at Lincoln Memorial, the Park Service didn't want the filming to disturb the audience, so the crew had to limit the filming as much as possible. When shooting in the National Archives of the United States, there are many restrictions, because few people are allowed to bring movie cameras into the archives, let alone this huge film crew. In order to solve the problem of limited shooting, the crew set up many scenes according to reality. Among them, in order to build a scene of stealing the Declaration of Independence, the crew went to the National Archives for field measurement, because the archives were being renovated at that time, and the crew even got the renovated renderings. Of course, the real Declaration of Independence is not allowed to be filmed for preservation and safety reasons, so the crew invited experts to complete a copy.
After filming in Washington, the crew continued filming in Philadelphia. After repeated consultations with the person in charge, the crew was lucky enough to be allowed to shoot in Independence Hall and liberty bell Tower.
The underground passage and tomb of Trinity Church in the film were built in a studio in Los Angeles for five months. Before the design, the production designer visited Trinity Church in new york, and saw the mystery of the church structure under the guidance of the administrator. Moreover, in the set completed by the crew, the symbols and layout of the * * * Economic and Social Building are fully integrated.
Wonderful tidbits
In fact, there is a sentence written on the back of the Declaration of Independence: "Original Declaration of Independence, dated July 4th, 1776."
The names of the main characters in the film come from Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry and john adams, while Abigail Chase comes from john adams's wife Abigail Jill Adams and Justice samuel chase.
The first edited version of this film is 4 hours long.
The pool water in front of Lincoln Memorial Hall was added during post-production, because the pool was being maintained at the time of shooting, and there was no water in the pool.
Diane kruger personally completed the car chase stunt.
A (movie) fiasco
In the underground scene, the spider web that comes into contact with the torch flame melts, but in fact, the real spider web will burn when it meets the fire.
When Rowley got down to the subway station of the National Archives, the train passing by was obviously the new york subway train.
Ben passed an F- 16 fighter while running on an aircraft carrier, but the US Navy has never equipped such a fighter on an aircraft carrier.
