Inception is a 2010 science fiction action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, who also produced it with Emma Thomas, his wife, under their label Syncopy. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the dreams of his victims and is promised to have his criminal status cleared as payment for the implantation of an idea into a target's subconscious. The ensemble cast includes Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Dileep Rao, and Michael Caine.
Inception premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square in London on July 8, 2010. It was released in both conventional and IMAX theatres (in the United States and United Kingdom) by Warner Bros. Pictures on July 16. Releases in additional territories followed throughout July and August. Produced on a budget of $160 million, the film grossed $828 million worldwide, concluding its original theatrical run as the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2010. Subsequent re-releases have increased its total gross to $839 million. Inception received positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, visual effects, editing, musical score and performances (particularly DiCaprio's). On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 87% based on 364 reviews. It is considered one of the best films of 2010 and of the decade, having appeared on several critic lists for both categories.
Inception garnered awards and nominations in various categories, with particular recognition for its cinematography, score, visual and sound effects, and editing as well as Nolan's screenplay and direction. At the 83rd Academy Awards, the film received eight nominations, winning Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Visual Effects. It tied with The King's Speech (which won Best Picture) for most wins at the ceremony. The film earned nine nominations at the 64th British Academy Film Awards, where it won Best Production Design, Best Sound and Best Special Visual Effects. It received a further nine nominations at the 37th Saturn Awards, winning five awards, and 10 nominations at the 16th Critics' Choice Awards, winning six awards. In addition, both the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute named Inception one of the Top 10 Films of 2010.
