Inception

Inception is a 2010 psychological science fiction action film[3] written and directed by Christopher
Nolan, who also produced the film with his wife, Emma Thomas. The film stars Leonardo
DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of his
targets. He is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased as payment for the implantation
of another person's idea into a target's subconscious.[4] The ensemble cast includes Ken
Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Cillian
Murphy, Tom Berenger, and Michael Caine.

After the 2002 completion of Insomnia, Nolan presented to Warner Bros. a written 80-
page treatment for a horror film envisioning "dream stealers," based on lucid dreaming.[5] Deciding
he needed more experience before tackling a production of this magnitude and complexity, Nolan
retired the project and instead worked on 2005's Batman Begins, 2006's The Prestige, and The
Dark Knight in 2008.[6] The treatment was revised over 6 months and was purchased by Warner in
February 2009.[7] Inception was filmed in six countries, beginning in Tokyo on June 19 and ending
in Canada on November 22.[8] Its official budget was US$160 million, split between Warner
Bros and Legendary.[9] Nolan's reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the
film's US$100 million in advertising expenditure.

Inception's première was held in London on July 8, 2010; it was released in both conventional
and IMAX theaters beginning on July 16, 2010.[10][11] Inception grossed over US$829 million
worldwide, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of 2010.The home video market also had
strong results, with US$68 million in DVD and Blu-ray sales. Considered one of the best films of the
2010s,[12] Inception received critical praise for its screenplay, visual effects, score, Nolan's direction
and ensemble cast.[13] It won four Academy Awards (Best Cinematography, Best Sound
Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects) and was nominated for four more: Best
Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Score.
