MOVIE DETAILS
Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a thief with the rare ability to enter people's dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill has made him a hot commodity in the world of corporate espionage but has also cost him everything he loves. Cobb gets a chance at redemption when he is offered a seemingly impossible task: Plant an idea in someone's mind. If he succeeds, it will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb's every move.

WHY I CHOSE THIS MOVIE
This movie was chosen because it is mainly a fictional movie that talks about the idea of entering one's dreams and manipulating them. Of course, if we think about it in reality, we are far from doing that. BUT !!! We should explore the science behind dreams and try to figure in terms of biology if this is even possible !
