![]() ![]() Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbologist in Paris for a lecture when Inspector Fache ( Jean Reno) informs him of the murder of museum curator Jacques Sauniere (Jean-Pierre Marielle). Luckily, Ron Howard is a better filmmaker than Dan Brown is a novelist he follows Brown's formula (exotic location, startling revelation, desperate chase scene, repeat as needed) and elevates it into a superior entertainment, with Tom Hanks as a theo-intellectual Indiana Jones. While the book is a potboiler written with little grace and style, it does supply an intriguing plot. And that since everyone has read the novel, I need only give away one secret - that the movie follows the book religiously. If you want to check out Robert Langdon in action before you spend money on seeing Inferno on the big screen, you'll want to re-watch the first few movies, below.Let us begin, then, by agreeing that The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. But, Langdon isn't just any old Professor - he's done this before. Sounds like a lot to ask of a history professor, if you ask me. With a little help from a nice doctor (Felicity Jones), Langdon tries to solve clues left in Dante's Inferno in an attempt to stop a world-wide plague meant to curb the Earth's population. This time, instead of finding clues in the Mona Lisa, Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital, having no memory of why or how he got there. In the new film, Langdon will face a brand new, non-Da Vinci themed threat. But before you start re-watching these films any way you can, first learn a bit about Inferno. The Da Vinci Code is, but Angels & Demons is not. ![]() But, are the Da Vinci Code movies on Netflix? Because, if not, it's gonna take Professor Langdon to magically figure out how you can watch them. ![]() Now, Langdon is ready to save the world from a plague inspired by Dante's inferno in, but before he does, you might want to check out the other two movies first. Langdon, as played by Tom Hanks, first entered the business of world-saving in 2006's The Da Vinci Code, tradition he continued in 2009's Angels & Demons. In Inferno, everyone's favorite historian/world-saver is back to save the planet in another movie based on the work of author Dan Brown. ![]()
