 Roman Polanski writes
and directs this thriller set in the world of rare books. An
expert in the field (Johnny Depp) gets entwined in a supernatural
conspiracy while tracking down the two remaining copies of a
demonic text.
Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) is highly skilled at his work, a
position which requires dexterity, cultural expertise, nerves
of steel...and few scruples. Known for locating rare books for
wealthy collectors, Corso is hired by eminent book-lover and
scholar of demonology, Boris Balkan (Frak Langella). Corso's
mission: to find the last two volumes of the legendary manual
of satanic invocation "The Nine Gates of the Shadow Kingdom,"
compare them with Balkan's first volume, supposedly the only
one of its kind, and ascertain the authenticity of the series.
Corso accepts the challenge. From New York to Toledo, Paris
to Cintra, he immerses himself in a labyrinth full of pitfalls
and temptations, disturbing encounters, violence and mysterious
deaths. Protected by an angelic creature (Emanuelle Seigner)
and guided by a force more powerful than himself, the hunter
solves one by one the mysteries of the dreaded Book and discovers
the real purpose of his mission...
Directed by Roman Polanski and written by Polanski, John Brownjohn
and Enrique Urbizu, "The Ninth Gate" is based on the
novel "The Club Dumas" by Arturo Perez-Reverte. Starring
Johnny Depp, Frank Langella, Lena Olin and Emanuelle Seigner.
