Movie Story


While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others.

In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever.

MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..unforgivably dull in places and frequently both poorly directed and laughably silly..”
by Matthew Turner [View London]
“..preposterously entertaining..”
by Roger Ebert [Chicago Sun-Times]
“..a moderately interesting diversion that will hold audiences in the moment but leave them unmoved and unchanged..”
by Mick LaSalle [San Fransisco Chronicle]
