Inception Infographic

Briefly, Inception is about a group of industrial spies (led by Leonardo DiCaprio's character Cobb), tasked with convincing the scion of a business empire that he should break up his father's company. To do that, they have to drug the son and plant that desire within a dream.

But for the idea to take hold and consume the target--and not to be dismissed as nonsense from a sleeping brain--they have to plant it deep into his mind, via a series of intense, sub-conscious narratives. And that means creating dreams within dreams within dreams, so densely layered in the subject's mind that it feels like a bedrock desire.
