The Plot
To give a resume of Inception´s plot I would have to start by referring to the definition of the word in terms of how it is used in this movie:
in•cep•tion
[in-sep-shuh n]
noun

1. beginning; start; commencement.

2. British .
A. the act of graduating or earning a university degree, usually a master's or doctor's degree,especially at Cambridge University.

B. the graduation ceremony; commencement.

3. (in science fiction) the act of instilling an idea into someone's mind by entering his or her dreams.

As a movie, the context of my reference is limited to the last definition presented. In essence, Inception is centered around the concept of implanting an idea or memory within the dreams of another person, in order to manipulate their perception of reality.

Inception is a true heist-movie, however with an elemental, but nonetheless important twist. Instead of the object being to steal an object, this movie is all about inserting something. And this something is, as you might have figured out, is an idea.

The main character of this movie is Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a skilled extractor who has made a profession in corporate espionage by stealing industrial plans from the competition of whatever corporation that pays enough.

Saito (Ken Watanabe), the CEO of a huge Japanese energy company, hires Cobb for a job out of the ordinary; he wants Cobb to perform an Inception on his main competitor, Fisher Morrow, making Saito energy company the largest and without real competition.
