Synopsis
Following the Pope’s death, symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and scientist Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer) become involved in a mysterious plot to destroy Vatican City using a vial of antimatter stolen from CERN. The perpetrators are soon revealed as the Illuminati, a shadowy secret society striving to destroy the Catholic church.

Just saw The Da Vinci Code; it was decent, though a bit dull in many places. Tom Hanks unfortunately looked tired the whole time, and there’s technically a limit to how exciting a movie can be made from long lectures on religious symbology and fiddling with anagrams in the characters’ heads.
