    The summary of the movie
    In this film the stately silence of Paris' Louvre museum is broken when one of the
    gallery's leading curators is found dead on the grounds, with strange symbols carved
    into his body and left around the spot where he died. Hoping to learn the significance of
    the symbols, police bring in Sophie Neveu a gifted cryptographer who is also the
    victim's granddaughter. Needing help, Sophie calls on Robert Langdon a leading
    symbologist from the United States. As Sophie and Robert dig deeper into the case,
    they discover the victim's involvement in the Priory of Sion.

    Pre-release reactions
    At a conference on April 28, 2006, the secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of
    the Faith, a Vatican curial department formerly known as the Holy Office, Archbishop
    Angelo Amato, specifically called for a boycott of the film version of   †
    he said the movie is "full of calumnies, offences, and historical and theological errors

    The Philippine Alliance Against Pornography (PAAP) appealed to Philippine President


    Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to stop the showing of   in the Philippines.
    They branded the film as "the most pornographic and blasphemous film in history" and
    also requested the help of Pope Benedict XVI, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the
    Philippines (CBCP) and other religious groups to stop the showing of the film

    Christian groups in this mostly Buddhist country protested the film and called for it to be
    banned. On May 16, 2006, the Thai Censorship Committee issued a ruling that the film
    would be shown, but that the last 10 minutes would be cut. Also, some Thai subtitles
    were to be edited to change their meaning and passages from the Bible would also be
    quoted at the beginning and end of the film.

    The National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) wrote to Information,


    Communications and the Arts Minister to register their "strongest objection" to the
    release of the film and requested that it be banned. The Media Development Authority,
    however, passed the unedited version of the movie, albeit with an NC-16 rating, a
    restriction for children below the age of 16.
