No that was a hallucination from the drugs they gave Langdon.
If I recall in the book (it has been a few years so I might be slightly off on this) there was some sort of timer/explosive on the bag, or that the material the bag was made of was going to dissolve after so many days and the virus would be released. The race was to reach the bag before it burst. In the movie that part wasn't as clearly defined. It seemed in the movie it was when Sienna showed her true colors and love for Zobrist that she was going to expedite the release of the virus.
?What?
When I was reading the book I seem to recall it dragged on quite a bit when describing all the Dante's Inferno clues that made up the treasure map so to speak.
I just recently watched the movie, but it has been a few years since I read the book. I forget the details but I think the book explained it some. The book also went more into who the guy he was with when they stole it. i forget who he was but there was a little more to his character than just being an accomplice to the mask theft. I think he was a big art dealer or museum expert. He was someone who had known Langdon for a long time.
As others have said no you don't have to read them in their order of release. I don't think the books make references to earlier ones. The only thing I sort of recall is I thought the movie of The Da Vinci Code indicates it is Langdon's "first" case/adventure, where with the books it was actually the second case.
Puzzles are the main character's thing as a symbologist, so they are vital to the stories in this series of films that are based on The Robert Langdon book series by Dan Brown.
Haven't heard that they are even considering it yet. It should have been done before Inferno just as Angels & Demons should have been done before The Da Vinci Code. Then again it was the popularity of The Da Vinci Code book that prompted the idea to make a movie about it. I suspect that the reason they haven't done The Lost Symbol is the problems of getting access to some of the landmarks in DC and shooting around the area.
I like some of them and thought about them, but then I saw some in a Barnes & Noble and they were about 2 or 3 inches smaller than I thought they were. I still might get some fave characters maybe, but most fandoms already have discontinued figures so hunting down some full collections is a challenge.
OH I saw one of the "Invisible" Frodo (or was it Bilbo) Lord of the Rings franchise figures, at first it looked like the box was missing the figure.
I have a lot of them from the last 50 years or so. Here in no particular order:
Quantum Leap
Doctor Who
All the Star Treks (well I have only seen the pilot episode of Discovery so Only 90% of the Trek shows are on my faves list)
Blakes 7
Space 1999
Voyagers
Timeless
Buck Rogers
Battlestar Galactica Original and Reboot
V Original mini-series, Final Battle, regular series and reboot series
The Twilight Zone
Red Dwarf
Sliders
Andromeda
Lost in Space
Stargate SG1, Stargate: Atlantis
Torchwood
Adventures of Sarah Jane Smith
Warehouse 13
The Orville
Dark Matter
Killjoys
Farscape
There are others I'm sure there have been several Sci-Fi Channel shows I have enjoyed that were very short lived.
The real question is what would they think of as a landmark? They would probably only destroy obvious landmarks like Mount Rushmore, maybe the Hollywood sign, Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, other overly tall towers and buildings, the Giant Jesus statue in Rio. Things that are man made that appear to have some sort of power over those who are near it. If you are looking for them to destroy your neighbor's house because you hate the flowers they are growing, don't hold your breath on that one.
