Dean Corso is a New York City rare book dealer who is hired by wealthy collector Boris Balkan. Balkan has acquired a copy of The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows, a book by 17th-century author Aristide Torchia said to be able to summon the Devil. Torchia is alleged to have written the book in collaboration with the Devil, and only three copies survived when he and his works were burned for heresy. Balkan believes only one of the three is authentic and wants Corso to inspect the other two to determine which one. During his travels Corso comes into contact with a mysterious woman (identified as “The Girl” in the film’s credits) who appears to be following him.The Ninth Gate 1999 Full Movie Download
Corso interviews Liana Telfer, the widow of Andrew Telfer who sold Balkan The Nine Gates shortly before killing himself. Telfer later seduces Corso, hoping he will sell the book to her. After they have had sex, and he refuses to sell, she attacks him, and knocks him unconscious. The next day, Corso goes to a bookseller he had entrusted the book to and finds him hanged in his store like an engraving in The Nine Gates. Corso retrieves the book and travels to Toledo, Spain, to speak to the Ceniza Brothers, book restorers who owned Balkan’s copy before the Telfers. The three show him that of the book’s nine engravings, only six are signed “A.T.”, the other three are signed “L.C.F.” for Lucifer.
Corso travels to Sintra, Portugal, and meets with Victor Fargas who owns a copy of The Nine Gates. Corso finds that three different engravings in his copy are signed “L.C.F.”, and the engravings signed this way have subtle differences from those signed “A.T.” Corso relays his findings to Balkan and Balkan orders him to acquire Fargas’ copy. The next day the Girl takes Corso to see Fargas, who has been drowned; Corso retrieves his copy of The Nine Gates from the fireplace and finds the three “L.C.F.” engravings torn out. Corso goes to Paris, France, to investigate the third copy owned by Baroness Kessler. Wary of Corso and knowing he is employed by Balkan, she refuses him.
