"Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming."

In general it seems the type of movie I'd love, except for the main plot description!
If you look at the imdb plot summary and remove the references to dreams and substitute something like 'bank heists' or whatever then it becomes some crappy movie like I dunno Oceans 11 or something. By crappy I just mean 'not to my taste cos I find it boring'.

hmm movie plot summary possible spoiler but not really
