In a world where art, faith, and violence collide, a priceless literary artifact becomes the focal point of a dangerous quest. Directed by Julian Schnabel, "In the Hand of Dante" weaves together the perilous journey of a lost manuscript of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" with the tumultuous life of its creator. In the present day, a desperate scholar, portrayed by Oscar Isaac, is drawn into a shadowy underworld of collectors and criminals, including a formidable intermediary played by Gal Gadot and a ruthless enforcer brought to life by Gerard Butler, all seeking to possess the legendary text. Their high-stakes pursuit parallels the profound struggles of Dante himself, embodied by John Malkovich, as he battles political exile and inner demons to complete his epic masterpiece. This sweeping drama, spanning centuries and continents, explores the sacred and profane lengths to which people will go for a relic that holds the very soul of human experience, questioning whether such power brings salvation or destruction.
