With Nolan’s latest film The Odyssey, now in cinemas, it comes as no surprise that another film from the director’s filmography has been added to the UK library. One of the most divisive films of his career, Tenet is certainly worth multiple watches to get your head around the concept.
A nameless CIA operative known as the Protagonist is recruited into a secret global organization. Tasked with preventing World War III, he must master “time inversion,” a technology that allows objects and people to move backward through time. Guided by fellow operative Neil, the Protagonist tracks a ruthless Russian oligarch who is weaponizing this technology from the future. To save the world from total annihilation, he must navigate a complex, non-linear reality in which cause and effect collide, culminating in a spectacular, time-based battle against the clock.
