Inception is a 2010 American science-fiction action film written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe and Cillian Murphy. The film is inspired by the experience of lucid dreaming and dream incubation.[5] The film, a variant on the heist genre, centers on Dom Cobb, an "extractor", who enters the dreams of others to obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible.[6] His abilities and questions about the death of his wife have cost him his family and his nationality, but he is promised a chance to regain his old life in exchange for planting an idea in a corporate target's mind.[7] This process of planting an idea, known as "inception", is less familiar and far more difficult than Cobb's usual job of "extraction".[7]
Development of Inception began roughly ten years before the film's actual release when Nolan wrote an 80-page treatment about dream-stealers.[8] After presenting the idea to Warner Bros. in 2001, he felt that he needed to have more experience with large scale films.[9] Therefore, Nolan opted to work on Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight. He spent six months polishing up the film's script before Warner Bros. purchased it in February 2009.[9][10] Filming began in Tokyo on June 19, 2009 and finished in Canada in late November of the same year.[11][12]
Inception was officially budgeted at $160 million, a cost which was split between Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.[3] Nolan's reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the film $100 million in advertising expenditure.[3] Inception premiered in London on July 13, 2010 and was released in both conventional and IMAX theatres on July 16, 2010.[13][14] Released to critical acclaim, the film grossed over $21 million on its opening day, with an opening weekend gross of $62.7 million.[4]
