Angels & Demons (2009)
Angels & Demons is the second Robert Langdon film, released in 2009 and directed by Ron Howard, adapted from Dan Brown's novel by screenwriters David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman. Tom Hanks returns as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, summoned to the Vatican when four cardinals are kidnapped by the Illuminati — an ancient secret society — on the eve of a papal conclave. With an antimatter bomb hidden somewhere in Vatican City and a countdown of hours, Langdon must decode centuries-old symbols and navigate the labyrinthine politics of the Catholic Church to prevent catastrophe. Filmed partly on location in Rome with extraordinary access, the film is a slick, propulsive thriller that improves on The Da Vinci Code in pace and tension. Grossing over $485 million worldwide, it remains one of the most entertaining entries in the Langdon series.
Highlights
- The Vatican setting — Ron Howard secured remarkable access to Rome's historic locations; the Castel Sant'Angelo, the Pantheon and the Vatican itself are used to spectacular effect and give the film a genuine sense of place.
- Tom Hanks as Langdon — More comfortable in the role than in The Da Vinci Code, Hanks brings real urgency and intelligence to the character; his chemistry with Ayelet Zurer as scientist Vittoria Vetra is one of the film's strengths.
- Ewan McGregor as the Camerlengo — A quietly compelling performance that builds to a genuinely surprising revelation; McGregor brings real conviction to a complex role.
- The antimatter countdown — Howard sustains the ticking-clock tension with real skill; the film's pacing is relentless and the set pieces are efficiently staged throughout.
- The Illuminati symbol trail — The puzzle-solving at the heart of the film is inventive and satisfying; the trail through Rome's churches and monuments gives the thriller a distinctive, intellectually engaging quality.
