Sienna Brooks, the doctor tending to him, reveals that he is suffering from amnesia as a result of a bullet wound to the head. An orderly says the police are there to question Langdon but the officer turns out to be Vayentha, an assassin, who shoots the orderly while coming up the hallway.
Brooks helps Langdon to escape, and they flee to her apartment.Among Langdon's personal belongings, Langdon and Brooks find a, a miniature image projector with a modified version of 's, which itself is based on. They soon realize this is the first clue in a trail left by Bertrand Zobrist, a dangerously unstable billionaire who believed that rigorous measures were necessary to reduce the Earth's, and who committed suicide three days earlier after being chased by armed government agents.Langdon and Brooks figure out that Zobrist, who was obsessed with, has created a viral superweapon he has dubbed 'Inferno', with the potential of annihilating half the world's population. In the meantime, they have been traced by both Vayentha and agents from the (WHO), who try to raid the apartment, forcing them to flee again. The WHO agents are headed by Elizabeth Sinskey, an old lover of Langdon's, and are trying to prevent the release of the virus. Vayentha reports to her employer Harry Sims, the CEO of a private security company called 'The Consortium', who is acting on behalf of Zobrist, who gives her instructions to kill Langdon as he had become a liability.Langdon's knowledge of Dante's work and history, and of hidden passages in Florence, allows the two to follow clues such as letters and phrases which lead to various locations in Florence and, while inadvertently killing Vayentha and evading the WHO.
Along the way, Langdon discovers that he helped a friend of his steal and hide the Dante, a crucial clue, an event he also does not remember. Zobrist had provided Sims with a video message about the virus, to be broadcast after it has been released.
Shocked by its content, Sims allies with Sinskey to prevent the outbreak. However, Langdon and Brooks are contacted by Christoph Bouchard, a man purporting to be working for WHO, warning them that Sinskey has a double agenda and is after the Inferno virus for her own profit. The three cooperate for a while, until Langdon realizes that Bouchard is lying and seeking to profit from Inferno himself, forcing the duo to flee on their own again.Langdon figures out that the virus is in the in. With that knowledge, Brooks abandons Langdon, revealing that she was Zobrist's lover and that she will ensure the release of the virus.
Zobrist and Brooks used to play games; this trail was the backup plan in case something happened to Zobrist. Langdon is recaptured by Bouchard, but Sims kills Bouchard and rescues Langdon, who then re-teams with Sinskey, who asked him for help in interpreting the imagery from the Faraday pointer. Sims reveals he was hired by Brooks to kidnap Langdon when Zobrist had been killed, and drugged with to induce a memory loss; the events in the hospital were all staged.They realize the virus is in a plastic bag hidden under water in the in Istanbul. The WHO team – joined by Langdon, Sims, and Sinskey – race to locate and secure the bag, while Brooks and her allies attempt to detonate an explosive that will rupture the bag and the virus. Sims is killed by Brooks, and when Langdon confronts her, she attempts to release the virus by triggering a.
The detonation is able to rupture the bag but because it was already trapped in a special containment unit, the virus was secured in time, and after struggling in vain against Sinskey and Langdon to destroy the container, Brooks' allies are killed.

LANGDON BACK. Sorry, I’ll rephrase: Langdon back. Sorry, give me one more chance, I really think I can nail it this time: Langdon back?That sound you hear is America not giving a collective shit that they’re making a third movie in the Da Vinci Code universe.
Today, the latest trailer dropped for Inferno — the sequel to the sequel to the movie adaptation of the Dan Brown book you probably read but don’t remember but just say you read it because, honestly, it doesn’t matter — and it seems as though most people’s knee-jerk response has been, well: “Why?”“ The Da Vinci Code but not The Da Vinci Code? They’re still doing that?”And I get it. Really, I do. They made a sequel to a about how Ewan McGregor killed the Pope for Illuminati sport, or SOMETHING, or maybe NOT EVEN something, and you DON’T CARE, and you probably thought that Angels & Demons was an ironically named roller rink, or a combination tattoo parlor/Tom DeLonge interview, or the cologne I’m wearing, thanks for noticing, and it’s none of those and that’s fine. But here’s the thing.
RelatedThe Da Vinci Code movies are secretly dope. This sounds like an opinion, I know, and a bold one at that. But it’s neither. It’s just the truth.Here are the only two things about Inferno you need to know: Tom Hanks has straight hair in the ‘ Da Vinci Code’ universeStraight Hair Era Tom Hanks is so goddamn much, and he deserves our love and respect. Yes, sure: When The Da Vinci Code first came out in 2006, Tom Hanks’s hair was a lot to take in, a shock to the system. Receding, and swooping, and teased forward and upward and backward,. Friends, I won’t front: It didn’t look great.
But it wasn’t simply that it didn’t look great. It was that it looked — at all.We think of Tom Hanks as this paragon of comfort and stability. He’s the Dad Zero of American cinema, and he does as dads do: reliably, steadily, stylishly within the reality of his own strict dad constructs, and most importantly of all — absent any vanity. The Tom Hanks archetype, is, above all else, at its essence, post-vain. That’s what separates him, and has always separated him, from the Tom Cruises and Brad Pitts of the world.
2000s Cruise and Pitt have come off as tragedies of vanity — obsessed with finding the fountain of youth. Hanks is different: We like to imagine that if Tom Hanks stumbled upon the fountain of youth, he would, I don’t know — turn to it, and say, “Actually, I’m all set — I have a Nalgene right here in my fanny pack, but thanks for the offer, that’s very kind.” And it was on these cherished terms that seeing Tom Hanks go through a midlife hair crisis was so upsetting.But it’s time to move past that. It’s time to hold hands, and buy tickets to Inferno, and agree — just close our eyes, and open our hearts, and agree — that this isn’t upsetting at all. It’s time to understand that Tom Hanks isn’t just an archetype; he’s a person. That Tom Hanks isn’t just a dad; he’s a man. And that Tom Hanks has some silly-ass hair in the Da Vinci Code movies, and it makes him feel fun and young and maybe even sexy, and that’s weird, I guess, but mostly sweet, and how nice for him, the end.
So you can have your curly hair–Tom Hanks movies, and you can watch them as many times as you want, and they’re good, and I respect you. But you should know: You’re watching a character within a character. You’re watching Tom Hanks play — which is to say, manage the expectations of being — “Tom Hanks.”Only in the Da Vinci Code universe are you getting Tom Hanks truly in the raw: As a movie star who needs hits. As a dad who wants to be cool.
And as a person, like any other, who thinks his hair looks really good a certain way, and is wrong. No one knows what any of the ‘ Da Vinci Code’ movies are aboutTom Hanks plays Robert Langdon, a professor of symbolo a symbologist, who is very excellent at his job. And, umm, that’s it.
That’s literally it. No one — no one! — knows. OK, sure, one or two details endure: There was a murder in the Louvre. (IN THE LOUVRE.) There is a loose ( loose) religious subtext.
There are some secret societies (think of them as friendships, but more stressful and with all Gchats off the record) of indeterminate purpose. And Ewan McGregor, bless his heart, stays MAJOR SPOILER ALERT. But mostly you can disregard all of that.And that’s because, occasionally fancy vocabulary aside, these movies are total fucking nonsense. We’re talking Indiana Jones without a sense of humor. National Treasure without the cocaine. The Matrix but without the Matrix and both pills just take you to some dank office at Harvard.
The Da Vinci Code universe should be wearing a big neon sign that says “DON’T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT.” Don’t even worry about it! These are not serious endeavors.And thank god.By which — and at the risk of seeming ungrateful — I mean: Isn’t it refreshing to have a movie franchise that can’t be #actually’d and fact-checked and source-texted to death?
Like: Doesn’t it give you some small modicum of comfort to know that, come October, there will be no “Here are the 12 comics you need to read before Inferno” primers? That there will be no “testing the internal logic of Inferno’s plot” examinations? That there will be no “What Inferno gets wrong about amnesiac Harvard professors being recruited into emergency action to stop a global-extinction event by doing advanced sudoku or whatever” post-mortems?And the reason there won’t be, of course, is that there are zero comics you need to read before Inferno; and there is no internal logic of Inferno’s plot to examine; and Inferno gets nothing (let me repeat: nothing) wrong about amnesiac Harvard professors being recruited into emergency action to stop a global-extinction event by doing advanced sudoku or whatever. Inferno, and the Da Vinci Code universe, is cinema freed from the burdens of meaningfulness, of source code, of logical consequence.
There was a book, and it was in the airport, and a lot of people bought it, and Tom Hanks was available, and something something something THE LOUVRE. That’s it.The rest is easy, and up to you: Just turn your brain off, then turn it to the secret setting past off — it should say “off-off,” don’t tell anyone else about it, you shouldn’t use it too many times, you could do permanent damage — and relax.The Da Vinci Code is nonsense trash.
It will save us.
