A relic has been fought over by the forces of light and darkness for two thousand years. Missing for centuries, the sacred artefact turns up in the back of a camper van in 2001. A powerful secret society is slaughtering innocents to get hold of it.
To discover and understand the relic, the ancient arts of sacred geometry, astrology and alchemy must be combined with modern cyber skills and cryptography.
Billionaire mogul Magnus Martel (TERENCE STAMP) is desperate to find and destroy the relic, reluctantly aided by his estranged son Jake (JAMES D’ARCY), a computer decoding expert, and Mira (NATASHA WIGHTMAN), a student of alchemy.
The hunt takes the protagonists from Britain to France, Malta and Greece. Their dangerous journey also becomes a voyage of self-discovery and personal fulfilment.
In pursuit is the Grand Master (UDO KIER), a demonic sentinel who has stalked the ages since witnessing Christ’s crucifixion, and whose unfaltering quest is to take possession of the Loculus and reclaim its devastating knowledge.

Though a success, The Da Vinci Code movie could not equal the heroic level that the novel had attained. But before the film’s release, another movie, Revelation, created in the United Kingdom on a much smaller budget, had largely tackled the same themes, and one might say, more imaginatively so. Hence, Revelation might be to The Da Vinci Code, what National Treasure was going to be for Dan Brown’s The Solomon Key – if that remains the title of The Da Vinci Code’s sequel.Revelation: a movie filmed in Rennes-le-Château

Philip Coppens analyses the movie Revelation, which, much more than The Da Vinci Code, used the enigma of Rennes-le-Château, and worked it into a movie that was in his opinion superior to it. Parts of the movie were filmed in Rennes-le-Château, and contains one scene of a priest whose body was walled into the Tour Magdala - while still alive.
