Inferno is an American intellectual mystery thriller based on Dan Brown’s novel of the same name. It is a continuation of the films The Da Vinci Code (2006) and Angels & Demons (2009) also directed by Ron Howard. The plot pivots on Robert Langdon, a professor of symbology at Harvard University, played by Tom Hanks. Once in Florence, Professor Robert Langdon, an expert on codes, symbols, and art history, suddenly gets into a whirlwind of events. He awakens in an Italian hospital with no memory of what has happened. A local doctor, Sienna Brooks, tries to help Robert not only recover his lost memories, but also halt some mysterious wrongdoers bent on unleashing a lethal virus. Humankind is a step away from being wiped out. This can only be averted if you solve the riddle Dante encoded in the first part of The Divine Comedy.
The film was produced by Sony Pictures which had previously adapted Dan Brown’s two other novels for the screen. The shooting began in April 2015 in Florence and continued in Venice and Istanbul. The film’s running time is about two hours.
The film premiered worldwide on October 8 and will be playing at Ukraine’s movie theaters from October 13 onwards.
