True? No, it's based on a novel.

No. It is a work of fiction. Like Jurassic Park. Cool explanation, doesn't work in real life.

In my ministry I have met quite a few uneducated people who believe that The Da Vinci Code is a true story. When the author, Dan Brown was asked about the confusion that the book has caused, he replied, "There should be no question about this, when you go into the book store, what section is the book under? - Fiction!"

its defo not true it was wriiten by dan brown and i found it quite boring myself the novel and the book where both critisized by the roman catholic church

Just like the book, the movie is a work of fiction. However, some of the facts that it presents are true or at least, reproduce some already existing hypothesis. 1) "The Da Vinci Code is a 2006 feature film, which is based on the bestselling 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It was one of the most anticipated films of 2006, and was previewed at the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 2006. The Da Vinci Code then entered major release in many other countries on May 18, 2006 with its first showing in the United States on May 19, 2006. Because of some controversial interpretations of Christian history in both the book and movie, they were criticized by the Roman Catholic Church. Some bishops urged members to boycott the film. Many of the early showings were accompanied by protesters outside the movie theaters, and early critical reviews were decidedly mixed. However, in its opening weekend, the film earned over US$224 million worldwide, second only to the opening of 2005's Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It is the second highest grossing movie of 2006 worldwide — having reached US$758,239,851 as of November 2 2006."

Many of the complaints centered on the book's speculations and alleged misrepresentations of core aspects of Christianity and the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Additional criticisms were directed towards the book's inaccurate descriptions of European art, history, architecture, and geography. Charges of plagiarism were also leveled by the authors of the 1982 Holy Blood, Holy Grail, though Brown was cleared of these charges in a 2006 trial. It is difficult to assess how many of the book's errors resulted from poorly executed research or editing, or whether they were merely a product of artistic license." "Although the book is readily identifiable as a thriller—a work of fiction—and not as a historical tome, Brown does preface his novel with a page he calls "Facts" and has published a page at his website which repeats some disputed claims. Although Brown's website makes use of words such as "alleged," "rumored," and "seem to be," some critics consider the qualifiers misleading. Much of the controversy caused by the book stems from the fact that the novel, as a work of fiction, asserts opinions on debates that have not been resolved as facts."

Like most movies - fiction

It's not true; it's based on a fiction novel by Dan Brown who has (for hilariously stupid reasons), had to publicly state that it is a work of fiction a dozen times already. It is fiction, it is based on fiction, it is intended as fiction.
