Trivia
The area of the Library of Congress that Gates finds the Book of Secrets in does not exist as an area of book shelves. These book shelves were constructed as a prop library in a previously empty balcony of the Library's Main Reading Room and dismantled after the scenes were shot. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: During the scene at Mt. Rushmore where it shows them climbing to a lake behind the sculpture. There is no lake directly behind Mt. Rushmore. The lake is actually Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park 5.7mi SSW. See more »Crazy Credits
The opening Walt Disney Pictures logo is "darker and more orange" according to the director. See more »Soundtracks
