The plot of the film takes place before the plot of "The Da Vinci Code". The starting point of this story is not Robert Langdon’s lecture hall, nor the magnificent Louvre, but the European Institute of Nuclear Research, which brings together the cutting-edge technology of mankind. In a quiet afternoon, in this unremarkable building, divine power and science have been combined across the ages! Scientist Leonardo Witler and his adopted daughter Vittoria have synthesized the powerful and mysterious energy-"antimatter" for the first time in a highly classified laboratory. So far, the existence of God has been proven by science, because the miracle made out of nothing has finally been proven to be feasible. But Leonardo was immersed in joy at this time. Vitler would not have thought that this would bring him a murderous disaster.
A few days later, Leonardo was brutally killed in the laboratory and his death was horrible. The head was twisted 180 degrees, an eyeball was gouged away, and a mysterious mark was branded on his chest. Now that there is a mysterious symbol, Robert Langdon, a semiotic expert at Harvard University, was invited by the leaders of the European Nuclear Research Organization and the police to help solve the case. Langdon took a breath of air when he saw it. It turned out that the symbol was Europe. The ancient sect of Scientology-the symbol of the "Illuminati". Faced with this perfectly symmetrical symbol, Langdon was puzzled, because according to the records, this sect had long been submerged in history. But at this time there is not much time for Langdon to think about the revival of the "Illuminati", because the suspended tank containing the "antimatter" will lose power 24 hours after leaving the institute, and will be accompanied by the collision of positive and negative matter. Annihilation will release explosive energy no less than atomic bombs.
What's more suffocating is that there is news that the missing antimatter is in the Vatican at this time, and the next day is the election day of the new pope. At that time, all cardinals and large numbers of people from all over the world will gather here. If annihilation occurs, it will be the greatest disaster in human history and religious history. Obviously, all this is premeditated. This is the revenge of science from religion across the centuries. Langdon and Vittoria had to start searching for the "Illuminati" in the starry church in the Vatican, rescued the kidnapped cardinal, and tried to find the final whereabouts of the "antimatter".
