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. Solving 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, and yet ingeniously
disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces
with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu
(AudreyTautou), and learns the late
curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -
an actual secret society. In a breathless race
through Paris, London and beyond, Langdon and
Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker
who appears to work for Opus Dei - a clandestine,
Vatican-sanctioned Catholic organization believed
to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret.
Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine
puzzle in time, the Priory's secret - and a
stunning historical truth - will be lost forever.
