Gone in 60 Seconds (Wicker Park, August 24)

Starring Nicholas Cage, Gone in 60 Seconds is about a legendary car thief named Randall “Memphis” Raines who eluded the law for years as he stole every make and model.

National Treasure (Chase Park, August 31)

Also starring Nicholas Cage, National Treasure follows the story of Ben Gates who has wanted to find the Knights Templar Treasure since childhood.
