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 religious
expert 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 again directs the film. 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.
When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable
Illuminati time bomb, he jets 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 a 400-year-old
trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican's only hope for survival.
