Synopsis
The most powerful thing in the world might just be a single idea, once it takes root in your mind. Science fiction usually leans on time travel or strange new worlds, but in Christopher Nolan's heist thriller "Inception," those ideas come together inside the world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his trusted partner, Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, a terrific foil), steal secrets from people's minds for clients willing to pay. Unable to return home to the U.S. and separated from his children, Cobb hopes one last job will let him set things right. Enter Saito (Ken Watanabe), who hires him not to steal an idea, but to plant one in the mind of Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy), heir to a massive energy empire. Inception is far trickier than extraction, so Cobb assembles a team that includes a gifted architecture student, Ariadne (Elliot Page), a chemist (Dileep Rao) and a forger (Tom Hardy). As they prepare, Ariadne stumbles onto a secret that could sink the entire operation: Cobb is losing control of his own subconscious, where a haunting figure from his past (Marion Cotillard) keeps turning up. The early going can be confusing, since the story opens inside a dream before returning to reality. Then, once the team reaches Fischer, several layers of dreams play out simultaneously alongside events in the real world. It all makes sense within the rules Nolan sets up, but if you're impatient, you may end up as lost as Guy Pearce in "Memento." It may not quite reach the heights of "The Dark Knight," but it's a gravity-defying spectacle that rivals "Dark City" and "The Matrix."
