Synopsis: Famed symbologist Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is called to the Louvre museum one night where a curator has been murdered, leaving behind a mysterious trail of symbols and clues. With his own survival at stake, Langdon, aided by the police cryptologist Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautao), unveils a series of stunning secrets hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, all leading to a covert society dedicated to guarding an ancient secret that has remained hidden for 2000 years. The pair set off on a thrilling quest through Paris, London and Scotland, collecting clues as they desperately attempt to crack the code and reveal secrets that will shake the very foundations of mankind.

My Review: I had read this novel halfway through exactly upto the interval and the storyline was really very exciting. No doubt the book was a contemporary best seller of all time. The movie has been recreated exactly in accordance to the novel although not that much in detail as the pages - but yes, exactly the same way. The story keeps on building up & up and the mystery keeps on unfolding as the movie nears its end. The anticipation keeps on building up and the final 15 minutes are indeed worth the patience. The best scene of the movie is the last one when Robert Langdon realises that Mary Magdalene's tomb has been hidden beneath the very place his adventure started off. Magnificent screenplay. This movie if gone for the Oscars, would surely come out as a winner!
