Storyline

Benjamin Franklin Gates descends from a family of treasure-seekers who've all hunted for the same thing: a war chest hidden by the Founding Fathers after the Revolutionary War. Ben's close to discovering its whereabouts, as is his competition, but the FBI is also hip to the hunt. Written by IMDb Editors

Trivia

In the DC segment during the planning stage of the burglary the movie cuts to an external shot of a building on the Potomac River - presumably where the bad guys are planning their attempt. This building is the Watergate Hotel. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Ian's henchman is shooting at Ben as he is ducking behind the red van outside the gala, he shoots out one of the headlights on the passenger side. When the chase is coming to an end, after Ian realizes that he has a replica in his possession, they show the van with both headlights in tact. Only one headlight is lit (drivers side) but the glass on the passenger side is intact. See more »
