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.
