With Inception winning the award for “Most Manticipated Movie” at the Spike Guys Choice Awards last month, it goes without saying that the upcoming sci-fi action thriller is one that the UAE’s male population will be pre-booking their tickets for.

The $200-million (Dh734m) production – out on July 15 – is directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, The Prestige), and stars top names in Hollywood, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

According to American media previews, DiCaprio plays Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who is the 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.

Here the cast and director of Inception talk about the movie that is set to become one of the summer’s biggest blockbuster hits.
