If his team succeeds, it will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates his every move.
About the filmmaker:
Writer-director Christopher Nolan is known for his intriguing and nonlinear brand of storytelling. His critically acclaimed films include Memento and The Dark Knight Trilogy, and he continued to push the boundaries of filmmaking with his compelling engineering of stories inspired by real scientific concepts in The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet.
While he shared the writing credit on most of his films, Nolan was the sole screenwriter for Inception as well as his 1999 directorial debut The Following, his 2017 masterpiece Dunkirk, and his latest sci-fi thriller Tenet, which will screen as part of Science on Screen in July.
