Title: Inception
Distributor: Warner Bros.
Production Company: Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures, Syncopy
Synopsis: Dom Cobb 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.
Genre: A combination of science fiction, heist film and film noir.
How it fits the genre: The character of Mal is the film's main antagonist and is "the essence of femme fatale" which is the key noir reference in the film. Nolan began with the structure of a heist movie, since exposition is an essential element of that genre, though adapted it to have a greater emotional narrative suited to the world of dreams and subconscious
Target Audience: Predominantly young men between the ages of 16-37. However, the plot caters for both genders.
The first minute of the opening is relevant for our idea, as the audience have no idea who the character on the beach is, where he has come from, or who he is. The character is enigmatic, much like we intend for our characters to be, as our opening begins with the character Leora appearing in a foreign environment with no explanation.
