"Inception" marks acclaimed filmmaker Nolan's first major motion picture since his 2008 Academy Award®-winning blockbuster "The Dark Knight." In "Inception," DiCaprio stars as Dom Cobb, 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. If he and his team of specialists 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. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
A presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Legendary Pictures, "Inception" also stars Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, and Michael Caine. Emma Thomas produced the film with Nolan.
