An exiled widower, wanted in the States for the death of his wife, and his cohorts; make a living by illegally "extracting" information from people's dreams. One of his victims hires him to "implant" an idea in a young businessman, which is difficult and maybe impossible to do. "Implanting" an idea is potentially dangerous to both the dreamer and the dream thieves. Also, Cobb is haunted by his dead wife, who tends to appear in the subconscious both in his dreams and in the dreams of people he is hoping to "extract" information from. Sometimes she is violent, and subverts his dream thievery. This movie was at times a little hard to follow. Sometimes you didn't know a dream-state from reality, but in a movie like this that's a good thing. This movie had really impressive special effects and a great cast. I would see it again. It was well worth spending 2 1/2 hours seeing.
