Data for this research was collected from the Enola Holmes Movie (2020). The research focused on the icons, indexes, and symbols used in the film. Researchers concluded that the film contained more iconic and indexical signs than symbolic ones. Through this analysis, the research identified a total of twenty icons, twenty indexes, and eleven symbols found in the Enola Holmes Movie (2020). The successful identification and interpretation of such a substantial number of signs (twenty icons, twenty indexes, and eleven symbols) serves as a strong testament to the effectiveness of Peirce's semiotic theory in unlocking the symbolic language of the movie.
