Entertainment site Collider reports that Nicolas Cage's 2004 action-adventure National Treasure has re-entered the streaming charts, ranking among the most-watched films on Hulu in the United States. The piece frames the film as Cage's answer to the Indiana Jones franchise and part of a wider run of streaming success for the actor, who has also drawn attention for his central role in the Spider-Verse spin-off series Spider-Noir.

In National Treasure, Cage plays historian and code-breaker Benjamin Gates, who races to find a treasure hidden by America's Founding Fathers while pursued by crime boss Ian Howe, played by Sean Bean, after being double-crossed. Although the film was poorly received by critics, it proved a hit with audiences during a six-month theatrical run, earning roughly $331 million worldwide against a reported $100 million budget — $173 million domestically and $158 million overseas. More than two decades on, its renewed streaming popularity underlines Cage's enduring appeal.
