SYNOPSIS
The team behind the global phenomenon The Da
Vinci Code returns for the highly anticipated Angels
& Demons, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan
Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard
symbologist Robert Langdon, who once again finds
that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at
nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron
Howard returns to direct the film, which is produced
by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The
screenplay is by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman.
What terrifying discovery would make the Vatican
turn to Robert Langdon, the man who cracked
history’s most controversial code? When Langdon
discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient
secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati – the
most powerful underground organization in history –
he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the
secret organization's most despised enemy: the
Catholic Church. Upon learning that the clock is
ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb,
Langdon travels to Rome, where he joins forces with
Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian
scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed
hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs,
deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the
most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra
will follow the 400-year-old Path of Illumination that
marks the Vatican's only hope for survival.
