Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best
        in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing
        valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious
        during the dream state, when the mind is at its
        most vulnerable.



Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player
        in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage,
        but it has also made him an international fugitive
        and cost him everything he has ever loved.



Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption.
        One last job could give him his






life back but only if he can accomplish the
        impossible — inception.



Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his
        team of specialists have to pull off the
        reverse: their task is not to steal an
        idea but to plant one.



If they succeed, it could be the perfect
        crime. But no amount of careful planning or
        expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous
        enemy that seems to predict their every move.
        An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.
