Without a doubt, this year’s most highly anticipated film event is Inception. With its mind bending visual effects and international cast, acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams.
Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) 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.
The world premiere takes place tonight in London’s Leicester Square so if you’re planning to head down there, stars who are expected to attend include Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine, as well as director Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas.
