Cobb is retired, but is obliged to participate in one last mission so that, in return, he has the right to see his son again.
The final mission is called "insertion", as it starts from the principle of implanting the origin of an idea or concept in the mind of your client's rival.
Dom Cobb brings together a group of experts at each stage necessary to be able to carry out the mission.
Ariadne (Ellen Page) is the so-called “architect”, responsible for creating the scenario of the manipulated dream, using a lot of creativity and cunning for that.
Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) specializes in researching the target's life; Yusef (Dileep Rao) is the chemist who creates sedatives to induce the target to sleep; Eames (Tom Hardy) is responsible for researching and personifying the target, such as the way of speaking, “tics” and etc.
