Jewish Actress in Dan Brown inspired Movie

Palestinian Jewish actress Ayelet Zurer (L), Tom Hanks and director Ron Howard (R) are seen on the set of the movie 'Angels And Demons' at Piazza Del Popolo on 5 June 2008 in Rome, Italy. The movie, played by Tom Hanks, is inspired by Dan Brown's best seller.

Ayelet Zurer, one of the most acclaimed actresses in her home country, who comes from Tel Aviv, is playing the major role of Vittoria Vetra in the movie. While I personally, do not know her work, I am sure she is an excellent actress and hope to know of her better in the future.

Tom Hanks, while I may not have agreed with some of is early day comedies and no disrespect to him, because he has became one of the finest actors in Hollywood and several of his more dramatic roles, I have enjoyed immensely.

Director Ron Howard, I have followed his career since he was a child actor and have always found him not having just been a formable actor, but in numerous cases an exceptional director as well.

When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati... the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth.

The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy... the Catholic Church.

Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces he has hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.

Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair... a secret location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.

An explosive international thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war...
