Today we analyze the screenplay for Christopher Nolan's film Inception, offering a glimpse into its complex narrative. It introduces Cobb, a "skilled extractor" who infiltrates dreams to steal or plant ideas, a process known as inception. The excerpts illuminate the high stakes of this work, demonstrating how dreamers can become trapped in lower, prolonged dream states if killed within a dream, and how the subconscious can militarize to defend against intrusion. Furthermore, the script reveals Cobb's personal motivation—his desire to return to his children, which is complicated by the lingering projection of his deceased wife, Mal, a consequence of his own past inception attempt on her, making her a dangerous adversary within the dreamscapes. The narrative details a specific job to plant an idea within Robert Fischer to break up his father's corporation, requiring a team with specialized roles like architects (Ariadne) who design the dream levels, a forger (Eames) who can impersonate others, and a chemist (Yusuf) to create compounds for deeper, more stable shared dreaming, all while dealing with Saito's insistence and involvement.
