Why people love it

People revisit National Treasure for the same reason it broke through in 2004: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a action rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Jon Turteltaub keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The adventure and action blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
