Tenet

 Tenet(2020)

Christopher Nolan's Tenet is a 2020 science fiction spy film. It stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh. The story follows a CIA operative who learns how to alter time in order to stop a future attack.

After thinking for over a decade about Tenet's key principles, Nolan spent more than five years writing the screenplay. Pre-production began in late 2018, casting began in March 2019, and principal photography took place in Denmark, Estonia, India, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States for six months from May to November. Hoyte van Hoytema, the cinematographer, used 65mm and IMAX film.

Tenet was released in IMAX, 35 mm, and 70 mm in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2020. It was the first Hollywood tent-pole to premiere in cinemas following the pandemic shutdown. The film collected $363 million globally, making it the fifth-highest-grossing picture of 2020.

 

Movie info-

               The Protagonist, a CIA officer, takes part in extraction at the Kyiv Opera House. His squad recovers an artifact, but he is apprehended, tortured by mercenaries, and eventually kills himself by taking a suicide pill.

After some time has passed, the Protagonist awakens to realize that the object has been lost and that the pill was a ruse intended to be used as a test. Tenet hires him and gives him a briefing on bullets having "inverted" entropy, which means they travel backward in time. They track the inverted bullets to Mumbai arms dealer Priya Singh after meeting his handler, Neil.

Priya and Neil fight off two masked guys who emerge from a "turnstile"; Priya later reveals that these turnstiles flip the entropy of items and people. The Protagonist and Neil arrange to steal the sketch from Sator's freeport storage facility at the Oslo Airport.

Kat introduces the Protagonist to Sator on the Amalfi Coast, who shows that he still possesses the drawing. Enraged and jealous, Sator plots to murder the Protagonist, but the Protagonist saves Sator's life when Kat tries to drown him. The two guys form an alliance to rescue a case allegedly containing plutonium-241 from Kyiv (though is later revealed the case contains another artifact).

The Protagonist and Neil successfully take the case in Tallinn but are confronted by an inverted Sator who holds Kat captive. Tenet operatives led by Ives arrive as Sator flees through the turnstile. The heroes rescue Kat, and the Protagonist returns to the scene of the ambush.

Sator has completed the collection of all nine pieces of a gadget known as the "Algorithm," which would allow people in the future to invert the entropy of the entire globe. The protagonist journeys back in time to the Oslo freeport, where he battles his former self and through the turnstile. Sator intends to bury the Algorithm and broadcast its position in a digital time capsule, using a dead man's switch to broadcast the coordinates into the future. Kat discloses that Sator is dying of cancer, and the team deduces that he intends to travel back in time on a recent family holiday to Vietnam.

Neil and Kat, the protagonists, journey back in time with Tenet forces to reclaim the Algorithm. They employ a "temporal pincer movement," in which non-inverted and inverted forces attack at the same time. Sator dials the Protagonist's number and informs him that people in the future wish to reverse entropy.

Neil and Ives, the protagonist and antagonist, break up the algorithm and split ways. Neil confesses that he was recruited in the past by a future Protagonist after the Protagonist finds the trinket in his bag. Later, Priya tries to assassinate Kat, but she is stopped and killed by the Protagonist, who has discovered he is Tenet's mastermind.
