Movies that feel likeInferno (2016)

After waking up in a hospital with amnesia, professor Robert Langdon and a doctor must race against time to foil a deadly global plot.

If you loved Inferno, the closest films we have are What Happened to Monday (2017), Watchmen (2009) and Red Eye (2005). All three share Inferno's twisty and paranoid feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Foreign Correspondent (1940).
