Christopher Nolan has cultivated a filmography beloved by audiences worldwide, with many holding a particular fondness for one of his cinematic creations. Whether drawn to early classics like Following and Memento, which continues to captivate viewers decades later, or his more recent, genre-bending features such as Oppenheimer, Tenet, and Dunkirk, Nolan consistently delivers across psychological thrillers, dramas, and wartime period pieces. His ability to cover a broad spectrum of genres ensures a wide appeal.

Like many acclaimed directors, Nolan frequently collaborates with a roster of favorite actors. Prominently featured are Cillian Murphy and Christian Bale, who have contributed to many of his most celebrated works. Another key collaborator is Tom Hardy, who most recently worked with Nolan on the WWII drama Dunkirk. Prior to that, Hardy famously portrayed Bane in The Dark Knight Rises (2012), completing Nolan's iconic Dark Knight trilogy. However, it is their initial collaboration that is currently experiencing a significant resurgence on streaming platforms.

Presently, Nolan and Hardy’s critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller, Inception, is dominating global charts on HBO Max. According to FlixPatrol, the film is topping the Top 10 list in several countries, including Georgia, Ukraine, and Tajikistan. The film is celebrated not only for a stellar performance from Tom Hardy but also for its impressive ensemble cast. This includes Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead, Dom Cobb, alongside Elliot Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, Tom Berenger, Cillian Murphy, and Dileep Rao.

Inception centers on Dom Cobb, a skilled grifter who possesses the rare ability to infiltrate the subconscious minds of his targets to extract their most guarded information. The film is renowned for its intricate plot that keeps audiences engaged and questioning long after the credits roll.

Released on July 16, 2010, with a runtime of 148 minutes, Inception was both directed and written by Christopher Nolan. It quickly proved to be another monumental success for Nolan and Warner Bros. Against a substantial production budget of $160 million, the film soared to a staggering $839 million at the global box office. This financial triumph places the DiCaprio and Hardy-led sci-fi thriller as the third highest-grossing film in Nolan's impressive catalog of financial wins, trailing only behind The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.
