A murder in Paris’ Louvre Museum and cryptic clues in some of Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous paintings lead to the discovery of a religious mystery. For 2,000 years a secret society closely guards information that — should it come to light — could rock the very foundations of Christianity.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Vatican urged a boycott; churches held seminars debunking it. Ron Howard called it 'just a movie.' Everyone lost their minds.
The real Louvre refused filming, so they built a $5 million replica. The Mona Lisa scene uses a digital double—no way they'd let Hanks breathe on it.
