The Catholic Pope dies, cardinals gather in the Vatican to elect a new Pope, and four candidate cardinals are kidnapped. The antimatter produced by CERN scientist Victoria Wittler (Ayelet Zurer) and her father in the high-speed particle collider experiment to explore the origin of the world was also stolen. According to the tapes sent by the kidnappers, these were all the work of the Illuminati. The "Illuminati" was an organization of scientists founded in the 17th century, advocating science and they were brutally suppressed by Catholicism at that time. The kidnappers claimed to be executing a cardinal every hour from 8pm, before detonating antimatter to destroy the entire Vatican.
At the behest of the Pope's Chamberlain (Ewan McGregor), Harvard semiotics expert Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Victoria were invited to the Vatican to assist the Roman police in their search operations. . Langdon convinces Rome's chief detective Oliverdi (Pierfrancesco Favino) to follow the "Illuminati" hints of earth, air, fire, water, and the unknown fifth substance in the famous church in Rome Looking for the whereabouts of the cardinal, they rescued the last cardinal and found the antimatter, but time was running out. Victoria couldn't disarm the countdown device. The papal chamberlain took the antimatter and drove the helicopter to a high altitude and then parachuted out. The antimatter exploded in the air. , the Vatican escaped doom. The previous kidnapper, a police officer, was killed by a car bomb after getting the money. For the heroic papal chamberlain, the cardinals prepare to elect him as the new pope. Robert Langdon discovers that the papal inner chamber is the real culprit through the video of the papal chambermaid's office. The Pope's servants, who found themselves exposed, set themselves on fire. It turned out that in the face of the increasing progress of science, the status of religion was facing challenges. Everything he did was to protect his religion. The
news claimed that the Pope's inner servant died of an internal injury caused by an antimatter explosion after parachuting. The only surviving candidate cardinal became the new pope. In order to thank Robert Langdon for his life-saving grace, and to satisfy Langdon's wish by giving him precious Catholic materials, Langdon was able to complete his second book. .
"If science proves that the origin of the world was not created by God, what about our God?"
I feel that Robert Langdon is reasoning for the sake of the plot development, which is very far-fetched, and it is difficult for the audience to have a sense of substitution. The final antimatter sky explosion special effect is very beautiful.
Tom Hanks' acting skills are not fully developed, are
religion and science really antithetical? At least religion allows people to do good, rather than doing anything for money.
The film tells us that smoking is really harmful to the body. The young guard's physical fitness under low oxygen conditions is far worse than that of the much older male protagonist.

    Movies adapted from DAN's novels always feel like they are incapable of being able to do what they want. I can't say anything at all. I always feel like I'm in a hurry even though there is enough time. Only the big bang was shot, and that was also the credit of the stunt.
