The Da Vinci Code focuses on Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), a world renowned professor of symbology. Langdon is called by the Paris police to examine the murder scene of Jacques Saunière. It is at the murder scene that Langdon meets Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou) who helps him to realize that not only is he a suspect for the murder of Saunière, but his life is in grave danger. Langdon and Neveu subsequently evade the police and are led on a wild goose chase by the clues surrounding the murder of Saunière, whom Neveu soon reveals is her grandfather. As Langdon and Neveu attempt to solve the mystery, they are chased through Europe by the Paris police and members of Opus Dei, a religious extremist group, who also want to find what Langdon and Neveu are seeking.
