Tom Hanks’ Robert Langdon films arrive on Netflix

Tom Hanks plays Robert Langdon, a professor who studies religious symbols, in three thrillers directed by Ron Howard.

The films begin with The Da Vinci Code in 2006, followed by Angels & Demons in 2009 and Inferno in 2016.

Each story sends Langdon into a mystery involving a conspiracy, a historical artifact or a modern threat.

The movies were filmed at notable locations in Europe and feature well-known actors alongside Hanks.

The first two films were major box-office successes, while Inferno performed less strongly.

The trilogy is now available on Netflix, where each film can be watched on its own.

Their detailed explanations and fast-moving plots may also make them easy to follow while doing other things.
