The whole world is frozen in anticipation of the most ancient ceremony - the choice of the head of the Catholic Church, the Pope, but the fateful decision is interfered with by a powerful force - the sworn enemy of the Catholic Church - the mysterious Order of the Illuminati! Candidates for the sacred office are subjected to a ferocious ritual massacre one by one. Facing a deadly threat, the Vatican is forced to turn for help to Robert Langdon, a professor and expert on religious symbolism, who finds evidence of the revival of a powerful secret brotherhood, brutally exterminated in the Middle Ages.
Together with his partner, the gifted scholar Vittoria Vetra, Langdon begins his own investigation that takes them into labyrinths of walled crypts, secret dungeons, and abandoned temples - into the world's most secret vault. Through a mystical trail of symbols, the scientists advance toward an incredible truth that gives the Vatican its only hope of salvation. But the Illuminati will stop at nothing to get even and show their superiority! It's time for humanity to learn the truth!
