This is a sequel to The Davinci Code with Tom Hanks again as Robert Langdon. In this movie you are unsure who are the good guys and who the bad until the very end. It appears the Illuminati are seeking revenge on the Catholic church. They have kidnapped four cardinals with the intent to murder them every hour until they do their ultimate deed of blowing up the Vatican. They have stolen antimatter to make this possible. This brings in the scientist Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer) who is trying to recover the lost antimatter and disarm it if possible. It is a time of change as the Pope has died, and the cardinals are in conclave. In the meantime Camerlengo Patrick McKenna (Ewan McGregor) is in charge of the Vatican. They follow the clues to each of the first three cardinal locations, but always a bit late. The fourth they are able to save.
The bomb is set to go off, but Camerlengo flies in in a helicopter up above the populace in St. Peters Square. It explodes and he returns to earth in a parachute. The Cardinals want to reward him for his heroism, and call him to the conclave, where everything turns on its head.
I enj9yed this movie more than Da Vinci Code. It is again directed by Ron Howard.
