National Treasure
2004
Modern treasure hunters, led by archaeologist Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), search for a chest of riches rumored to have been stashed away by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin during the Revolutionary War. The chest's whereabouts may lie in secret clues embedded in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and Gates is in a race to find the gold before his enemies do. Diane Kruger, Sean Bean and Harvey Keitel co-star.

Excellent pacing with a fun adventure. Diane Kruger provides good energy for the first half of the film, though after that she's just a tag-along character - the chemistry between her and Nicolas Cage doesn't really work unless they're fighting.
