Storyline
While Ben Gates is presenting new information about John Wilkes Booth and the 18 pages missing from Booth's diary, a man by the name of Mitch Wilkinson stands up and presents a missing page of John Wilkes Booth's diary. Thomas Gates, Ben's great-grandfather, is mentioned on the page. It shows that Ben's great-grandfather was a co-conspirator in Abraham Lincoln's murder. When doing more research, the conspiracy takes Ben, Abigail Chase, and Riley Poole to Buckingham Palace (which they break into). They discover a plank that has early Native American writing on it. The plank has only one symbol that Patrick Gates can identify. The symbol is Cibola (see-bowl-uh) meaning the City of Gold. In order to define the rest they have to go to Ben's mother, Patrick's divorced wife. After 32 years it brings back old arguments. After that the other clue is in the President's...

Trivia
Director of photography Amir Mokri was replaced by John Schwartzman several weeks into shooting. This was reportedly due to "creative differences" between Mokri and director Jon Turteltaub. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene at the egg roll, the child says that Booth crossed the only bridge open out of Washington to escape, saying it was an example of a conspiracy. However the Long Bridge which Booth crossed that night was indeed closed at the time of his crossing. Booth was a well known celebrity in Washington and simply charmed the guard in charge (who was unaware of the assassination) into letting him across after hours. See more »Crazy Credits
The opening Walt Disney Pictures logo is "darker and more orange" according to the director. See more »Soundtracks
