The National Treasure films do exactly what they purport to - and are simple films where the characters have far too much knowledge about something they would never have had a clue about, and do crazy and illegal things just to find out something in history.

Nicholas Cage is back playing Benjamin Franklin Gates, whose new global quest to unearth hidden treasures begins when a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth appears claiming Ben's grandfather to be a consiprator in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Determined to prove his granddad's innocent, Ben follows a chain of clues (that are kindly explained to us in graphic detail), which takes him on a globe-trotting adventure through great historical landmarks in London, Paris and America.

Gates is joined by now ex-girlfriend Abigail (Diane Kruger), comic sidekick Riley (Justin Bartha), dad Patrick (Jon Voight), and mum (Helen Mirren) as he going on a quest for the fabled lost City of Gold.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is a world apart from other action or movies, and although the storyline is familiar, it's kept new and exciting with interesting riddles leading to more clues and puzzles in a fast-paced, action-packed film that has the audience desperately wanting Gates to be one-step ahead of the villain inevitably on his case.
