Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon Series Episode 1

Symbologist Robert Langdon made his big-screen debut in The Da Vinci Code, the controversial adaptation of a Dan Brown bestseller that risked turning art history into a global conspiracy and created a PR nightmare for the Catholic Church. With Tom Hanks rocking the most unpopular haircut since Samson, and director Ron Howard treating every line like it came straight from the Book of Revelation, this 2006 thriller cracked the box office wide open. Grab your rosary and Listen Now as Arnie, Brock, and Justin question if the clues still add up.
