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.
Corporate espionage. Cobb can invade people’s dreams, so corporations hire him to steal business secrets from rivals’ subconscious. Saito, an energy magnate, wants Cobb to do the reverse: not take information, but plant an idea in a rival’s mind. In return, he’ll fix problems with the US government so Cobb can return to his children. Cobb takes the near-impossible job, planning three layers of dreams within dreams for the mark. It requires a larger team taking a powerful sedative: if something goes awry, the dreamers may not awake. Cobb doesn’t tell his team that his past nurtures feelings powerful enough to bring on this comatose state for all of them. And the children – are they real?
