National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)

In this follow-up to the box-office hit National Treasure, treasure hunter Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) once again sets out on an exhilarating, action-packed new global quest to unearth hidden history and treasures.

When a missing page from the diary of John Wilkes Booth surfaces, Ben's great-great grandfather is suddenly implicated as a key conspirator in Abraham Lincoln's death. Determined to prove his ancestor's innocence, Ben follows an international chain of clues that takes him on a chase from Paris to London and ultimately back to America. This journey leads Ben and his crew not only to the surprising revelations - but to the trail of the world's most treasured secrets. [disney.go.com]

With just as many locales, historical landmarks and secret codes as the original, Book of Secrets is just as much implausible fun.
