Years after the films were box office hits, quotes and sentiments from the two-part franchise are frequently referenced in response to both the most joyous and most scathing moments in recent history. But even so, the films have been heavily criticized for purportedly \"crazy\" storylines, forcing \u003ci\u003eNational Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e enthusiasts to defend their fandom against those who think it merely a guilty pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what if the majority of \u003ci\u003eNational Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e's plot points were inspired by real figures and events, its heists drew upon actual techniques in science and technology, and production choices were made with the hope that viewers would better remember both triumphs and failures of history? In this book, franchise experts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black, hosts of the \u003ci\u003eNational Treasure Hunt\u003c\/i\u003e podcast, set the record straight, taking a scene-by-scene approach to prove that \u003ci\u003eNational Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e, like protagonist Benjamin Franklin Gates, is not crazy, but rather one step short. Their analyses unearth lesser-known stories from history while considering the ethics of character decisions, assessing comparisons with similar film franchises, interpreting key deleted scenes, and revealing behind-the-scenes secrets from filming. The result is a more complete understanding of the franchise, one that might just turn \u003ci\u003eNational Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e skeptics into begrudging admirers. In the end, don't we \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e want to know what's on page forty-seven? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNational Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e experts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black, hosts of the\u003ci\u003e National Treasure Hunt\u003c\/i\u003e podcast, bring their expertise to their first book.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Aubrey Paris is a foreign policy adviser who has worked on priorities ranging from the gender-climate change nexus to emerging technologies.
