The Da Vinci Code is a 2006 American-British co-production thriller film adapted from Dan Brown’s novel of the same name. Directed by Ron Howard, the film features Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, and Ian McKellen in the leading roles. The film centers on a murder investigation shaped by controversial theories and symbols related to Christian history. Upon its release, the film achieved significant box office success but also faced serious criticism from religious circles.
The film opens with a mysterious murder at the Louvre Museum. Harvard University symbology professor Robert Langdon is summoned to Paris by French police to assist in the investigation. It becomes clear that the murder is linked to a conspiracy involving symbols, codes, and religious secrets. Langdon and French cryptologist Sophie Neveu follow the clues, uncovering secrets that could challenge Catholic doctrine—including the claim that the bloodline of Jesus has survived.
