The long-gestating sequel to the National Treasure series has been in high demand from fans for years, but will Disney ever produce National Treasure 3? Debuting in 2004 with the release of the eponymous film, the series follows historian Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) who hunts the globe for artifacts pertaining to early American history and uncovers a cryptic series of clues that lead back to the nation’s founding. Deftly mixing action and adventure, the National Treasure series stands as a modern-day answer to movies like Indiana Jones.
