Our take on National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Jon Turteltaub's 2007 sequel reunites treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates with Abigail Chase and Riley Poole for another globe-trotting puzzle chase. This time, long-lost pages from John Wilkes Booth's diary implicate one of Ben's ancestors in Abraham Lincoln's assassination, sending him after a clue to clear the family name. Blending action, adventure and light historical mystery, it keeps the brisk, code-cracking spirit of the first film, favoring landmark set pieces and playful banter over grit. It suits families and viewers who enjoy breezy, puzzle-driven adventures where history becomes a game. Undemanding but energetic, it's an easy pick for a fun night that doesn't ask you to think too hard.
