Dominick "Dom" Cobb and business partner Arthur are "extractors" (people who perform corporate espionage using an experimental military technology to infiltrate the subconscious of their targets and extract information while experiencing shared dreaming). Their latest target is Japanese businessman Saito. The extraction fails when sabotaged by a memory of Cobb's deceased wife Mal. After Cobb's and Arthur's associate sells them out, Saito reveals that he was actually auditioning the team to perform the difficult act of "inception" (planting an idea in a person's subconscious).
In order to break up the energy conglomerate of ailing competitor Maurice Fischer, Saito wants Cobb to plant the idea of dissolving the company into the mind of Fischer's heir, son Robert Fischer. Should Cobb succeed, Saito tells Cobb he will use his influence to clear Cobb of a murder charge, which will allow Cobb to return home and to his children. Cobb accepts Saito's offer. Cobb sets about assembling his team: Eames, a conman and identity forger; Yusuf, a chemist who concocts the powerful sedativefor a stable "dream within a dream" strategy; Ariadne , an architecture student tasked with designing the labyrinth of the dream landscapes; and Arthur. Cobb starts showing the world of the "extractors".
