This movie follows Dominic Cobb who is a skilled dream manipulator and manufacturer.Agent Cobb is recruited by an energy CEO to manufacture a dream in the head of a competitor in order to convince the competitor to break up their business. He does this through inception which is the implanting of an idea deep within the subconscious of a chosen individual.Him and his team begin by identifying the target, Robert Fischer and begin their mission deep within the many layers of Robert’s psyche.They go through three layers through different dreamscapes facing unique challenges along the way.
