Factual error: When Ben and the rest of the group start to climb under the church, Ben moves some spider webs out of the way with his torch. The dust on the spider webs would have burst into flames when he did this, but instead they just fall to the side.

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Jon Turteltaub
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Christopher Plummer, Sean Bean, Harvey Keitel, Jon Voight, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha
A series of clues finally leads the group, now held hostage by Ian and his cohorts, to Trinity Church in New York City. Behind a crypt is a subterranean maze of stairwells. Deep below is a hidden room, but it’s empty. Ben’s father cons Ian into believing that a clue inside the room means that the treasure is hidden in Boston’s Old North Church. Ian strands Ben and the others underground, seemingly with no way out. Ben finds a secret opening leading to another room, which has another secret door, which leads to the room containing the massive treasure and an exit to the surface. Ian and his accomplices are arrested while breaking into the Old North Church. The treasure is divided among the museums of the world, and Ben and Riley each get a cut, making them fabulously wealthy. Ben and Abigail hook up.

Riley Poole: Asuming Ben's theory is correct and my tracking model's accurate, we should be getting very close. But don't go by me, I broke a shoelace this morning. It's a bad omen.
Ian How: Should we turn around and go home?
Ben Gates: Or we could just pull over and throw him out here.
Riley Poole: Ha, ha, ha, okay.
Ben Gates: Well Riley, you're not missing that small, windowless cubicle we found you in are you?
Riley Poole: No, no. Absolutely not.
Trivia: When Ben is talking to Riley in front of the Lincoln Memorial, you see a long pool behind them. This pool is filled with computer generated water, because the pool was drained at the time of shooting.
