Inception, writer-director Christopher Nolan’s seventh feature film, joins the epic scope of The Dark Knight with the narrative sophistication of Memento. The story of a group of thieves who specialize in invading the mind through one’s dreams, Inception explores the writer-director’s signature psychological themes of memory, paranoia, and self-doubt as his protagonist, Dom Cobb, is pitted against a hostile subconscious spurred on by personal demons and regrets from the past.
In a conversational preface, Nolan discusses with brother and frequent collaborator, Jonathan, the genesis of the idea for the film and the decade-long process it took to write it. Detailing the results of Nolan’s efforts, Inception: The Shooting Script includes key storyboard sequences, full-color concept art, and an appendix on the workings of the mysterious Pasiv Device that Cobb and his fellow extractors use to initiate the dream-share. An exclusive exploration of a highly original concept, Inception: The Shooting Script is the record of a writer-director at the height of his craft.

《盗梦空间》剧情：多姆?科布（Leonardo DiCaprio 饰）是一个经验老到的窃贼。不过，他和大多数小偷所偷取的东西不同，他专门盗取人类的思维。在他看来，人类思维所能产生的能量是不可限量的——人们靠思维就可以建造城市，可以穿越时空，回到过去重新制定社会的法则。人们甚至可以通过思维来进行犯罪。只可惜，面对如此宝贵的财富，大多数人不知道如何获取。而科布却恰巧拥有这样奇特的技能。他利用人们做梦的时候，从他们的潜意识里盗取有价值的信息和秘密。因为往往人们在做梦的时候，精神防线是最脆弱的。科布把自己这种绝技称为摄梦术。科布的特殊技能令他在这个贪婪的世界中成为了一个成功的商业间谍，但他为此也付出了沉重的代价不仅是全球通缉的逃犯，也失去了生命中所有挚爱的人……如今，科布有了一个赎罪的机会。与以往不同的是，这次科布和他的团队的任务不是窃取思想，而是植入思想。
蝉联北美票房榜冠军的超人气电影《盗梦空间》已于9月21日登陆中国内地，正式登陆中国内地银幕、加入国庆档战团。作为该档期唯一一部进口大片，《盗梦空间》由中影集团和华夏电影发行公司联合发行. 《盗梦空间》是大导演克里斯托弗?诺兰继《蝙蝠侠前传2:黑暗骑士》后再次给影迷带来的惊喜，影片将带观众游走于梦境与现实之间，被定义为“发生在意识结构内的当代动作科幻片”。
诺兰花费十年造“四层梦境”。导演诺兰透露，《盗梦空间》的构思早在10年前就已开始，他终于耗资2亿美元将其搬上银幕。诺兰打造的梦中世界分为四层，各个层级梦境间盘根错节的叙事线索，都被诺兰用其令人称奇的电影语言推向了极致。
莱昂纳多领衔顶级明星汇聚。《盗梦空间》集结了堪称顶级的豪华演员阵容。超级大帅哥莱昂纳多?迪卡普里奥是该片核心主演，日本性格男星渡边谦、凭借《玫瑰人生》封后奥斯卡的玛丽昂?歌迪亚都将在电影里有出色表演。老戏骨迈克尔?凯恩的加盟，给影片增色不少。
影片自7月16日在北美公映以来，已经连续三周盘踞票房榜冠军，且第二周的跌幅仅高于《阿凡达》，显示出强劲的持续吸金的潜力。与此同时，《盗梦空间》在法国、日本、英国、德国、香港、台湾等全球20多个国家和地区上映，全部位列票房冠军，全球票房向7亿美元迈进时。与票房成绩“比翼齐飞”的是该片在媒体和观众中压倒性的好评。在IMDB网站上，有近9万人为《盗梦空间》投票，其评分已追平《教父》，仅次于《肖申克的救赎》，位列历史第三位。斯皮尔伯格称，“诺兰是好莱坞最后的电影作者。”另外，中国台湾方面的碟商率先公布了本片将于2010年12月中旬发售一款手提箱限量版蓝光碟的消息。
《盗梦空间》能在全球范围内取得超高票房并赢得口碑，重点在于影片的创新意识，在这一点上比《黑客帝国》有过之而无不及，看过《黑客帝国》的很多人都曾经怀疑现实世界的真实性，看完《盗梦空间》则让人怀疑自己生活的这个世界是否在梦境中。长久以来，好莱坞电影流行简单化，让人动脑子的片子少了，看了就笑、笑完就忘的片子比比皆是。而《盗梦空间》带来的头脑风暴是影片赢得赞誉的关键原因。

By Nanker Phelge. a TON of thought went into this book., August 6, 2010
this book goes above and beyond. it features the amazing, multi-layered and completely readable script by christopher nolan. however, it also has storyboards, full credits for the film, an excellent preface and a PASIV device instruction manual. The PASIV device (better known as the dream machine) "instruction manual" is amazing and fun to look at. it's also very intricate and detailed. this book is really an essential purchase for anyone who wants to look deeper into the masterpiece that INCEPTION is. i think its one of the best published scripts i've ever bought.
ByMichael Aparicio. More than I bargained for!, August 6, 2010
I bought this hoping it would help me wrap my brain around the movie. I was expecting just a straight screenplay, but the book also includes an interview with Nolan, storyboards, concept art and schematics of the "PASIV" device they use to enter dreams. Very cool.
ByJianjing Zhang "Buffalo".Very Very Good, but not exactly what you see in the movie, August 6, 2010
Since I watched Inception for the third time two weeks ago, I've been waiting for this, because really there's some dialogue I did not capture in the theatre
This is the book I wanted, reading this just like reading a novel without getting bored. It is probably the best script I've read since Batman Begins, also by Nolan
Some original concept arts are included along with a interesting dream machine manual
Some of the scenes in the movie are not included in this script (one example is in the final kick back scenes where in the movie, there are lots of cuts from different levels, but in this script, it is much simpler), and some of the dialogues are slightly different, actually I think Nolan added some additional scenes in the movie just in order that the audience are more easily to catch up the plot.
Highly recommended
4.8/5

While studying English Literature at University College London, Nolan shot 16mm films at UCL’s film society, learning the guerrilla film techniques he would later use to make his first feature, Following. Since that time, he has directed Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight. For his work on those films, Nolan has been honored with a Producer’s Guild Nomination (The Dark Knight), a Writer’s Guild Nomination (The Dark Knight), and two Director’s Guild Nominations (Memento, The Dark Knight.) He also received Oscar? and Golden Globe? nominations for Best Screenplay for Memento. Nolan currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and producer Emma Thomas, and their four children.
