The Name of the Rose
DramaMysteryThriller130 min
When a string of deaths unsettles a 14th-century Italian abbey, Sean Connery is Franciscan monk William of Baskerville, arriving for a church conference with his novice Adso (Christian Slater) and quickly drawn into a murder inquiry. As William follows clues through the monastery’s shadowed corridors and labyrinthine library, his reliance on reason puts him at odds with monastic secrecy and the authority of the Inquisition. F. Murray Abraham’s Bernardo Gui looms over the investigation, turning William’s search for a killer into a conflict over heresy, guilt, and who gets to control the truth.
