A sequel to the 2006 film The Da Vinci Code, also directed by Howard, it is the second installment in the Robert Langdon film series; however, the novel version was published before The Da Vinci Code novel.

Tom Hanks reprises his role as Professor Robert Langdon, while Ayelet Zurer stars as Dr. Vittoria Vetra, a CERN scientist joining Langdon in the quest to recover a missing vial of antimatter from a mysterious Illuminati terrorist.
