Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids, National Treasure offers popcorn thrills and enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness. Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man's rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Da Vinci Code, it's entertaining on its own ludicrous terms, and Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor's infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins. The contrived plot involves Cage's present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar, kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past and present. Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back, of course!), so you can add "caper comedy" to this Jerry Bruckheimer production's multi-genre appeal. Nobody will ever accuse director Jon Turtletaub of artistic ambition, but you've got to admit he serves up an enjoyable dose of PG-rated entertainment, full of musty clues, skeletons, deep tunnels, and harmless adventure in the old-school tradition. It's a load of hokum, but it's fun hokum, and that makes all the difference. --Jeff Shannon

The DVD was in perfect condition as stated by the seller. It arrived
much earlier than stated and The Price was GREAT!
Rating: - its good to be told who the good guys are
This was an example of the freemasons trying to show how good and noble, though somewhat mysterious, they have been and still are.
Yes they are secret, but only for betterment of society.
This is a total social engineering scenario by Walt Disney Studios, where they know that parents don't want to send youthful filmgoers to see cheap sex or foul language, but don't care (or aren't smart enough to care), that their young charges get the brainwashing line that masons are good, and have ...
