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. |
