Watch the original version of National Treasure: Book of Secrets
The sun was just setting over the horizon, casting shadows of the ancient cityscape along the Boulevard. As Ben Gates and his team of adventurers gathered around the entrance to the abandoned library, the air was filled with an air of anticipation.
The team had been searching for months for the lost City of Gold and the mysterious book that held the clues to its location. This was the last stop on their journey, and Ben was determined to uncover the truth. Little did he know that he was about to embark on the most dangerous mission of his life.
The team cautiously stepped inside the library, the silence only disturbed by the echo of their footfalls. They moved silently through the shadows, searching for the hidden room. With every step, Ben became more aware of the danger that lay ahead. He knew that if he failed, it would mean the destruction of his family’s legacy and the end of his search for the City of Gold.
Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from the end of the hall. It sounded like someone was behind the door, trying to get out. Ben quickly pushed his team into the shadows and waited.
The door opened and a tall, dark figure emerged, carrying a book in his hands. Without hesitation, Ben and his team pounced. They grabbed the book and the figure and ran.
But it wasn’t just any figure. It was the President of the United States.
Ben had no other choice – he and his team had to kidnap the President if they were to find the Lost City of Gold. He quickly devised a plan to take the President hostage and use him to get to the secret book.
With the President in tow, the team raced back to their ship and headed out to sea. It was a wild ride as they evaded the military and police pursuit. Just as they reached the open waters, the sun was setting on the horizon.
The team had only a few hours to get the President to the book before the sun rose again. It was a race against time as they raced across the ocean and plotted a course to the location of the secret book. All the while, Ben and his team were thinking of ways to get the President to the book without arousing suspicion.
The night was long and treacherous, but eventually they reached their destination. The ancient library sat atop a hillside, hidden from view by the dense trees surrounding it. They had arrived.
The team cautiously entered the library and began to look for the hidden room. As they moved through the shadows, Ben felt a sense of dread. He knew that success was far from guaranteed – and if he failed, he and his team would face certain death.
The team found the hidden room and quickly gathered around a large, dusty book that was sitting on a wooden table. Ben opened the cover and was surprised to find a map of the Lost City of Gold inside. He quickly flipped through the pages, studying the clues and deciphering the mysterious symbols.
Just then, the President stepped forward and said, “I know what you are looking for. I can help you find it.”
Ben was amazed. How had the President known about the Lost City of Gold? He asked the President why he was there and was told that the President had been searching for the Lost City of Gold for years. Finally, he had found the clue he needed to find its location: the book in the hidden library.
With the President’s help, the team set off on their journey to the Lost City of Gold. The journey was filled with danger, but eventually the team arrived at the gates of the city. As the sun rose, Ben knew that he and his team had succeeded.
The Lost City of Gold was within their reach. Ben and his team had finally succeeded in uncovering the long-lost secrets of the ancient City of Gold. In that moment, Ben knew that he and his team had changed the course of history.
