Inception

Dom Cobb leads a team of specialists who infiltrate their targets' dreams to steal secrets from the subconscious. He is offered a different kind of mission: instead of stealing an idea, he must plant one. Christopher Nolan constructs a labyrinth of dreams within dreams, featuring a dizzying narrative structure, an iconic zero-gravity action sequence, and a final ambiguity that has sparked debate since 2010. A spy film that is also a meditation on guilt and grief.

"Inception" is the most ingenious blockbuster of the last 20 years. Nolan builds a Swiss watch of a narrative that works flawlessly on every dream level simultaneously. The final spinning top remains an eternal debate.
