The Church is told that each cardinal will be put to death one per hour starting at 8 pm, culminating with an explosion of an antimatter bomb under St Peter's Cathedral sharp at midnight destroying the sacred city. To deal with this horrifying threat, the Church calls upon the services of iconologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) who is knowledgeable about the powerful secret society. He has to start the investigation immediately, rushing to find the abducted cardinals by deciphering symbols. Robert Langton together with physicist Vittoria tries to reveal the death of the Pontiff and save the world. The views of Rome in the film are glorious and picturesque.
