10 Terribly Cheap Mockbusters That Ripped Off Famous Movies
5. The Da Vinci Treasure
Take yourself back to the early 2000s and you'll remember that Dan Brown fever was sweeping the world.
The author's book, The Da Vinci Code, was a worldwide bestseller and you couldn't enter a bookstore without seeing the face of the Mona Lisa emblazoned across every shelf going. A massively successful movie adaptation quickly followed in 2006, starring the much loved Tom Hanks, and earned big bucks at the box office, becoming the second highest-grossing movie of the year.
What you probably don't remember is that mere weeks after The Da Vinci Code arrived in cinemas across the globe, a little something called The Da Vinci Treasure followed up quickly on DVD. The shameless title tells you everything you need to know about how good this movie is, even if it does star the inimitable Lance Henrikson.
The movie follows an anthropologist who finds clues within the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci that he believes will lead him on the road to 'enlightenment'. Do yourself a favour, just stick with the National Treasure movies. They're both better than this and the Da Vinci Code anyway.
