 Walt Disney Pictures’ and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ action-packed National Treasure: Book of Secrets reunites the stars of the blockbuster 2004 film (which amassed a worldwide box-office total of $347,451,894)—Nicolas Cage, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, Diane Kruger and Justin Bartha—along with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director/producer Jon Turteltaub. For this second “National Treasure” adventure, the story expands into a global adventure and introduces new cast members Ed Harris and Helen Mirren.
For Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), history isn’t just a dry record of what’s occurred in a distant and half-forgotten past…for him, history is alive, vital, and occasionally it offers the possibility of finding extraordinary treasures. After his astonishing discovery of the riches of the Templar Knights, Ben has become the world’s most famous treasure hunter…although he prefers the term “treasure protector.”
In National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Ben and his father, university professor Patrick Gates (Jon Voight), are shaken by the discovery of one of the long-lost pages from the diary of Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth. The diary was found on Booth’s body when he was killed; however, several pages had been torn from the diary and have never been found…until now. Surprisingly, the information on this page seems to implicate their ancestor Thomas Gates as a co-conspirator in the assassination of President Lincoln.
