Synopsis for
The Da Vinci Code (2006) More at IMDbPro »

A murder in the Lourve prompts the Surete' to seek the help of codebreaker-symbologist Professor Robert Langdon. Detective Captain Fache has already decided that Langdon is guilty, but questions him anyway. Agent Sophie Neveu rescues Langdon from his clutches, and they follow a trail of clues across Europe, pursued by Interpol because they are suspected of murders committed in fact by an assassin of the Opus Dei sect. Clues support hypothesis that the Priory of Sion/Knights Templar have guarded a secret for centuries that would undermine the authority of the Catholic/Christian Church if known, and the Church's mysterious agents are fast suppressing this ancient knowledge by murdering the only survivors who have access to the knowledge. Sophie is finally revealed to be the last survivor of that knowledge, and is in fact the heir to the bloodline of Jesus Christ. The location of the body of Mary Magdalene is still a secret until the very last scene, where Langdon figures out she is buried under the newest additions to the Lourve.
