The Da Vinci Code is a 2006 American mystery thriller film directed by Ron Howard. The screenplay was written by Akiva Goldsman and based on Dan Brown's worldwide bestselling 2003 novel, The Da Vinci Code. It was produced by Howard with John Calley and Brian Grazer and released by Columbia Pictures in the United States on May 19, 2006.
The Da Vinci Code stars Tom Hanks as Harvard University symbologist Robert Langdon, Audrey Tautou as cryptographer Sophie Neveu of the Direction Centrale de la Polic Judiciaire of France, Sir Ian McKellen as British Grail historian Sir Leigh Teabing, Alfred Molina as Bishop Manuel Aringarosa, Jean Reno as Capitaine Bezu Fache of the Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire, and Paul Bettany as the Opus Dei monk Silas.
In London, Langdon and Neveu search among effigies for the tomb of a knight at Temple Church, Inner Temple Lane. The church of Inner and Middle Temple, two of England’s four Inns of Court – ancient societies of lawyers, it was consecrated in 1185 and, yes, it really was the London headquarters of the Knights Templar, the order of soldier monks founded to protect pilgrims travelling to and from the Holy Land.
Like all Templar churches, it follows the circular design of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, supposedly raised over the site where Jesus was buried. (source: Wikipedia)
