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

While Gates is attempting to decipher the first clue on board the Charlotte, after Shaw suggests "Prison," Riley says, "Albuquerque. See, I can do it too. Snorkel." This is a reference to the 1998 'Weird Al' Yankovic song, "Albuquerque," which talks about a man's journey to Albuquerque with his lucky snorkel. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When Riley hugs the big bluish-green man with the strange goatee the statue shakes considerably. The statue was most likely supposedly made out of Jade. That amount of jade would be of considerable weight and incapable of shaking that much, if at all, when being touched by a human being. See more »
