It's the last day of college before the summer holidays for a sextet of archeology students, and they only have one more class to take - which they take online via conference call, this way being not only the most detached from one another and their professor but also from the subject they're studying. But then a virus takes over all their computers, and a madman appears on their screen claiming to have kidnapped their professor and promising to only release him if they solve a series of increasingly difficult riddles which have to do with the class they're taking, riddles that resolve about early Christianity, including bible quotes and interpretations, and Hebrew scripture. At first our students do very fine, but the riddles get more and more vicious with each round, and there's a clock to beat on top of that ...

Now this might sound boring to everyone who isn't into bible mysteries, and basically this is really just a bunch of youngsters sitting in front of their computers trying to solve riddles - but it's done in a very entertaining way, via colourful and relatable characters and entertaining dialogue. And sure, the film lacks the spectacle of The Da Vinci Code, which treads very similar ground, it at the same time makes quite a bit more sense and without all the sensationalism really makes its riddles palpable. And moving along at a swift enough pace, and carried by a likeable cast, this is actually a very entertaining movie.
