Watch it tonight if you're craving a cerebral medieval mystery with Sean Connery commanding the screen—this Umberto Eco adaptation is a thinking person's thriller that rewards patience with atmosphere, intrigue, and genuine intellectual suspense. Skip it if you want action or fast pacing; this one unfolds like a puzzle box, deliberately and deliberately.

Plot

14th-century Franciscan monk William of Baskerville and his young novice arrive at a conference to find that several monks have been murdered under mysterious circumstances. To solve the crimes, William must rise up against the Church's authority and fight the shadowy conspiracy of monastery monks using only his intelligence; which is considerable.
