Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sean Bean is all I need to know. I have no suspicion it won't suck, but, dude, Sean!

It looks like an Indiana Jonesish adventure that has to do with US national treasures.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Ended up going to see Hero, and coming home to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Something about them having to steal the constitution to protect it, or something.

It looks like The Da Vinci Code a la USA. Which is no high recommendation in my mind.

It's the Declaration of Independence and the unfinished pyramid on the dollar is another clue to some secret.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From NYT: Truth Stranger Than 'Strangelove'
"Dr. Strangelove," Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film about nuclear-war plans run amok, is widely heralded as one of the greatest satires in American political or movie history. For its 40th anniversary, Film Forum is screening a new 35 millimeter print for one week, starting on Friday, and Columbia TriStar is releasing a two-disc special-edition DVD next month. One essential point should emerge from all the hoopla: "Strangelove" is far more than a satire. In its own loopy way, the movie is a remarkably fact-based and specific guide to some of the oddest, most secretive chapters of the Cold War.

What few people knew, at the time and since, was just how accurate this film was. Its premise, plotline, some of the dialogue, even its wildest characters eerily resembled the policies, debates and military leaders of the day.
