Per Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), la Storia non è solo un'arida serie di dati di quello che è avvenuto in un passato distante e pressoché dimenticato. Per lui, la Storia è viva e occasionalmente offre la possibilità di trovare dei tesori straordinari. Dopo la sua stupefacente scoperta delle ricchezze dei Cavalieri templari, Ben è diventato il cacciatore di tesori più famoso al mondo, anche se lui preferisce il termine "protettore di tesori". In questa nuova avventura, Ben e suo padre, il professore universitario Patrick Gates (Jon Voight), vengono sconvolti dalla scoperta di una delle pagine perdute del diario di John Wilkes Booth, l'assassino di Lincoln. Il diario è stato trovato sul corpo di Booth quando quest'ultimo è stato ucciso, ma diverse pagine sono state strappate e non sono mai state trovate... fino ad ora.
