Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this action movie has a handful of explosions and some gunshots being fired at characters and into crowds. Characters are in frequent peril and some are taken hostage. The historical aspect is especially interesting for conspiracy theorists and treasure hunters, if a little fuzzy when it comes to nailing down actual facts. A minor character is killed (offscreen). When Ben says he is in trouble, his father asks if the woman he has with him is pregnant. There is a lot of reckless and irresponsible behavior, even within the traditions of this genre.

Sexual Content

Men ogle Dr. Chase's physique. Main characters kiss. Characters change clothes behind changing room doors.

Violence

Brief sword fighting, two images of faces of frozen corpses, explosions, moderately frequent gun play. Perilous car chases. A character falls to his death from a great height. No blood.

Language

"God" as an exclamation, and a German form of "damn."

Social Behavior

Though the "good guys" are trying to prevent the Declaration of Independence from being stolen, they break laws and engage in reckless behavior in order to protect it.

Consumerism

Cadillac emblem on car is featured and a character calls the car a "sweet ride." A stop at Urban Outfitters features actors going on a shopping spree and having a conversation as they try on clothes. Spoils of treasure include a Ferrari.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Ben is shown throwing back a glass of champagne at a party, as if to drink to give himself courage before a heist. Characters drink socially at a party.
