Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight), this sci-fi action film travels around the globe and into the infinite world of dreams.  Experience six stories of unbelievable special effects on the 70-ft. domed screen that will make you feel like you're in a real-life, more in-depth version of The Matrix.  The epic screenplay and international cast will challenge your perception of reality and keep you totally immersed through the end!

 

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) penetrates people's dreams to steal valuable secrets from deep within their subconscious while their minds are vulnerable.  That rare ability has made him a valuable player in corporate espionage, but has also cost him everything he has ever loved.  Now one last job could give him back his life, but only if he and his team can accomplish the impossible - inception - and successfully plant an idea instead of stealing one.  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.
