Story


Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a 2011 Hollywood action,adventure film released on Dec 29, 2011. The film is directed by Guy Ritchie, produced by Susan Downey under banner named Silver Pictures.

A Game of Shadows: The movie is based on the investigations of Sherlock Holmes, who finds out that the death of a Austrian prince is not a suicide. The murder is just a small piece of puzzle created by Professor Moriarty, who is equally intelligent.

A new criminal mastermind is at large—Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)—and not only is he intellectually equal to Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.), but his capacity for evil and complete lack of conscience may give him an advantage over the renowned detective.

The death of the Crown Prince of Austria is initially thought to be a suicide. But Holmes deduces that the prince has actually been the victim of murder—a murder that is just one small piece of a puzzle designed by Professor Moriarty.

Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen's club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) are toasting Dr. Watson (Jude Law) on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim (Noomi Rapace), a Gypsy fortune teller who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince's murder makes her the killer's next target.
