What to expect in 2026

The Screening of the film “National Treasure” 2026, Nagoya, Japan is a special cinema event scheduled for September 22 and September 23, 2026. Rather than a conventional film festival, the event centers on theatrical screenings of the film “National Treasure” for audiences in Nagoya.

The two-day program provides fans and moviegoers with multiple opportunities to see the film on the big screen. The event is particularly suited to audiences interested in revisiting the 2004 adventure mystery film in a cinema setting.

“National Treasure” follows historian and treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates as he searches for a legendary treasure connected to American history. The film combines historical clues, puzzles, action sequences and an international-style treasure hunt.

The event should be approached as a dedicated screening program rather than a festival with premieres, filmmaker competitions or multiple films. The available ticket information should be checked for the exact cinema, screening times, seating arrangements and admission conditions associated with each performance.

Festival dates

The special screening is scheduled across two consecutive days in Nagoya:

• September 22, 2026
• September 23, 2026
• City: Nagoya, Aichi, Japan
• Film: National Treasure
• Event type: Special film screening

The event takes place during September, when Nagoya is transitioning toward autumn. Visitors attending from outside the city can combine the screening with sightseeing around Nagoya Station, Sakae, Nagoya Castle and other central attractions.

The exact screening times should be confirmed through the official Pia ticket information before attending. If multiple sessions are listed, each ticket holder should check the date and time printed on their ticket.

Venues & festival locations

The screening takes place at a cinema venue in Nagoya, with the official ticketing information providing the event’s current venue and screening details.

Because this is a film screening rather than a multi-venue film festival, attendees should not expect separate festival headquarters, outdoor stages or multiple screening locations operating simultaneously.

The cinema environment provides a dedicated setting for watching “National Treasure” on a large screen with theatrical sound. Depending on the final screening format, the program may also include event-specific introductions or announcements.

Visitors should check the official Pia page before traveling because cinema assignments and individual screening rooms can be subject to organizer and venue arrangements.

Full programme

The central program consists of screenings of “National Treasure.”

The 2004 adventure film stars Nicolas Cage as Benjamin Franklin Gates, a historian and treasure hunter searching for a legendary treasure hidden by America’s Founding Fathers. The story incorporates historical documents, secret clues and puzzles, eventually leading Gates and his team toward the Declaration of Independence.

The screening program can be summarized as:

• “National Treasure” theatrical screening
• Admission and seating
• Main film presentation
• Event-specific announcements where applicable
• Closing and audience departure

No separate competition, short-film program or filmmaker conference has been announced for this event.

The program is therefore focused on the cinematic experience rather than the broader industry activities normally associated with an international film festival.

Featured films & premieres

The featured and currently identified film is “National Treasure,” the 2004 adventure mystery film directed by Jon Turteltaub.

The film stars:

• Nicolas Cage as Benjamin Franklin Gates
• Diane Kruger as Abigail Chase
• Justin Bartha as Riley Poole
• Sean Bean as Ian Howe
• Jon Voight as Patrick Gates
• Harvey Keitel as Peter Sadusky
• Christopher Plummer as John Adams Gates

The story revolves around the search for a legendary treasure supposedly hidden by the Founding Fathers. Gates discovers that the next clue may be concealed on the Declaration of Independence, leading to one of the film’s central action sequences.

There is no information in the supplied event listing indicating that a new film premiere, world premiere or Japanese premiere will accompany the screening. The event should therefore be described as a special screening of the existing film rather than a premiere.

Directors, actors & guests

Jon Turteltaub directed “National Treasure,” while the principal cast includes Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, Sean Bean and Jon Voight.

The event itself is a screening and does not currently have a confirmed live appearance by the director or cast.

There is also no confirmed guest list in the supplied ticket information. Fans should not assume that actors, directors or other members of the production team will attend unless the organizer announces an appearance separately.

The appeal of the event comes primarily from experiencing the film in a theatrical environment. Viewers can revisit the performances, historical mystery and action sequences on the big screen without the event requiring a conventional celebrity appearance.

Screening schedule

The event is scheduled for September 22 and September 23, 2026.

The complete screening timetable should be confirmed through the official ticketing page because the supplied event information identifies the two dates but does not provide a detailed session-by-session schedule.

A typical screening schedule will include:

• Cinema admission
• Assigned seating or venue-directed seating
• Pre-screening announcements where applicable
• Full screening of “National Treasure”
• End credits
• Audience departure

If more than one screening is offered on either day, each session should be treated as a separate ticketed performance where applicable.

Fans should arrive before the listed screening time because cinema admission procedures can close once the film has started.

Ticket types & accreditation

The event is a public film screening rather than an industry accreditation-based festival.

The official Pia listing should be used to confirm the available ticket categories, seating arrangements and final ticket conditions.

Potential admission categories may include standard cinema admission or event-specific seating allocations, depending on the organizer’s arrangement. However, only categories actually displayed on the official ticket page should be treated as confirmed.

There is no confirmed professional film accreditation system associated with this screening.

For visitors purchasing tickets, it is important to verify:

• Correct screening date
• Correct screening time
• Cinema location
• Seat information
• Ticket collection or digital admission procedure
• Any age or admission restrictions
• Cancellation and refund conditions

Industry & professional access

Unlike a major international film festival, the “National Treasure” screening is not currently presented as an industry market or professional film event.

There is no confirmed filmmakers’ market, sales office, industry conference, press accreditation program or professional networking schedule in the supplied event information.

The event is primarily intended for members of the public who want to watch the film in a cinema environment.

Film professionals attending as ordinary audience members should follow the same admission procedures and ticket requirements as other visitors unless the organizer subsequently introduces a dedicated professional arrangement.

Red carpet & special events

No red-carpet appearance has been announced for the Nagoya screening.

There is also no confirmed live appearance by Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Jon Turteltaub or another member of the production team.

The special nature of the event comes from the theatrical presentation of “National Treasure” rather than a confirmed celebrity red carpet.

If the organizer later announces an opening presentation, guest appearance, promotional activity or other special event, fans should check the official Pia event page for the updated schedule.

Festival rules

Visitors should follow the cinema’s standard admission rules together with any event-specific instructions issued by the organizer.

Ticket validity: Bring the correct ticket for the selected screening date and time.

Late arrival: Cinema admission can be restricted once a screening has begun, so arriving early is recommended.

Recording: Movie recording and unauthorized photography during the screening should not be undertaken. Visitors should follow the cinema’s instructions regarding mobile phones and other recording devices.

Audience behavior: Phones should be silenced and conversations should be avoided during the film so that other audience members can enjoy the screening.

Seating: Visitors should use the seat specified on their ticket if assigned seating applies.

Additional restrictions concerning food, drinks, bags or photography may be imposed by the cinema. The final event notice should therefore be checked before attending.

How to get there

Nagoya is one of Japan’s major transportation hubs and is particularly easy to reach by Shinkansen.

Visitors arriving from Tokyo can use the Tokaido Shinkansen to Nagoya Station. The journey provides a convenient connection for fans traveling specifically for the screening.

Nagoya Station is also connected to local JR services, Nagoya Municipal Subway lines, Meitetsu and Kintetsu railways.

If the cinema is located in central Nagoya, visitors can generally continue from Nagoya Station using the subway or local railway network. The exact route should be planned using the venue address shown on the final ticket information.

Visitors arriving from Osaka or Kyoto can also use the Tokaido Shinkansen, while travelers coming from other parts of Japan can connect through Nagoya Station.

Public transport & parking

Public transportation is the most practical way to reach a cinema event in central Nagoya.

Nagoya Station: The city’s main railway hub provides access to Shinkansen, JR, Meitetsu and Kintetsu services.

Subway: Nagoya Municipal Subway provides connections across central neighborhoods including Sakae, Fushimi, Kanayama and other major districts.

Bus: Nagoya’s municipal and private bus networks provide additional connections from surrounding areas.

Taxi: Taxis are useful for visitors carrying luggage or traveling with accessibility requirements.

Parking: Cinema and commercial parking availability depends on the specific venue. Visitors who plan to drive should check the cinema’s parking arrangements before departure rather than assuming event parking is included.

For travelers staying near Nagoya Station, using the subway or local rail network is generally more convenient than driving into central Nagoya.

Accommodation areas

Nagoya has several accommodation districts that can work well for visitors attending the September 2026 screenings.

Nagoya Station: This is one of the most convenient areas for visitors traveling from outside the city. It provides Shinkansen access, local trains, subway connections and a wide selection of hotels.

Sakae: Sakae is a major entertainment and shopping district with restaurants, department stores and hotels. It is a useful base for visitors who want to combine the screening with sightseeing.

Fushimi: Located between Nagoya Station and Sakae, Fushimi provides convenient subway connections and is close to many central attractions.

Kanayama: Kanayama is another important transportation hub with JR, Meitetsu and subway connections.

Visitors attending on both September 22 and September 23 can stay in central Nagoya and use public transportation for both screening days.

Food & dining

Nagoya offers extensive dining options around its major railway stations and entertainment districts.

Nagoya Station has department stores, restaurants, cafés and food halls, making it convenient for visitors arriving shortly before the screening.

Sakae and Fushimi also provide a large range of restaurants and casual dining options. Visitors can find Japanese cuisine, international restaurants, cafés and fast meals.

Those wanting to experience local Nagoya cuisine can look for regional dishes such as hitsumabushi, miso katsu, kishimen and tebasaki.

Because cinema screenings operate according to fixed start times, fans should allow enough time to finish a meal and reach the screening room before the movie begins.

Food and drink policies inside the cinema may vary, so attendees should follow the specific rules of the screening venue.

Accessibility

Accessibility arrangements depend on the specific cinema and screening room being used for the event.

Visitors who require wheelchair seating, step-free access, hearing assistance or other accommodations should contact the cinema or event organizer before attending.

Nagoya’s major railway stations generally have accessible facilities, elevators and routes, although large stations can require significant walking between platforms and exits.

Fans should plan their route in advance and allow additional time if they require elevators or accessible entrances.

If the event provides designated accessible seating, it should be reserved or requested according to the official ticketing instructions rather than assumed to be available on arrival.

Best screenings to attend

There are two confirmed dates for the Nagoya event: September 22 and September 23, 2026.

September 22: This is the first confirmed screening date and can suit visitors who want to begin their Nagoya visit with the event.

September 23: The second date provides another opportunity for fans who cannot attend the first day or who want to build a two-day Nagoya itinerary around the film.

No official difference between the two screening dates has been provided. Unless the organizer announces different content, guests should expect the same featured film.

Visitors choosing between the dates should therefore base their decision primarily on their travel schedule, accommodation and preferred screening time.

Previous year’s highlights

“National Treasure” was originally released in 2004 and became one of the notable adventure films of its period. The movie combines historical mystery with action and treasure-hunting elements, following Benjamin Franklin Gates as he attempts to uncover a hidden treasure connected to American history.

The film’s central mystery involves a series of historical clues. Gates believes that the treasure was hidden by the Founding Fathers and that an important clue is connected to the Declaration of Independence.

Nicolas Cage leads the cast as Benjamin Franklin Gates, with Diane Kruger playing archivist Abigail Chase and Justin Bartha portraying technology expert Riley Poole. Sean Bean plays treasure hunter Ian Howe, while Jon Voight portrays Gates’ father, Patrick.

The film’s success led to a sequel, “National Treasure: Book of Secrets,” released in 2007. The original film has continued to attract audiences through home viewing, television and streaming, while theatrical screenings provide an opportunity to experience it again on the big screen.

The 2026 Nagoya event brings that earlier adventure-film experience into a dedicated cinema presentation.
