Inferno

Robert Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with no memory and a head injury. He teams with Dr. Sienna Brooks to stitch together scattered clues, including a strange object and an ominous symbol linked to historical art and literature. Their search moves from Venice to Florence as urgency grows when the threat proves to have global reach. Pursued by figures who may help or hinder, Langdon leans on instinct and partial memories to solve riddles, avoid traps, and follow a trail through museums, libraries, and secret chambers, decoding art, literature, and science to prevent a catastrophe linked to survival.

Released in 2016, Inferno was directed by Ron Howard and adapted from Dan Brown's 2013 novel, with a screenplay by David Koepp. The film reunites Robert Langdon lead Tom Hanks with director Howard and a largely international supporting cast globally.

Inferno reached audiences worldwide and generated healthy box office returns, driven by Tom Hanks' star power and international locations. It outperformed expectations in several overseas markets, securing a profitable run for the studio, and keeping studio investors reasonably satisfied overall.

The film reinforced Robert Langdon as a recognisable modern thriller protagonist and kept Dan Brown adaptations in the public eye. Sequences set in familiar Italian landmarks and puzzles drawn from art history sparked conversation and fan debate online about symbolism and interpretation. It inspired some tourism to the featured sites.

Critics gave mixed reviews, praising production design and Hanks' steady presence while noting plot mechanics and pacing unevenness. The movie deals with themes of bioethics, population control, and the moral cost of drastic preventative measures, prompting viewers to argue over real world implications. Fans and critics still debate its merits.
