Since childhood, Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) has known that his descendants were entrusted with a secret that would ultimately lead to a treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. The location of the treasure has remained one of history's best kept secrets and can only be discovered by deciphering numerous cryptic clues, including symbols in the country's currency and a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Learning of a plot to steal the Declaration so the map can be examined, Benjamin has only one option: steal it himself. Even if he pulls off this monumental task, keeping the treasure safe is still going to be incredibly difficult, especially since the FBI has also found out about the scheme and is hot on his and the gang of crook's tails.
