Civics at the Movies: National Treasure

Just how, ahem, realistic is National Treasure?

In the latest edition of our special series Civics at the Movies, we talk about the National Archives and how they're portrayed in the iconic film National Treasure.

Is there really a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence? Is the security at the Archives really so high-tech? (Spoiler alert: no, and no.)

Our guest is  Jessie Kratz, Historian at the National Archives and friend of the show.
