Tenet
Christopher Nolan · 2020 · Film
It introduced 'time inversion' as a novel mechanism for temporal manipulation, challenging the conventional understanding of causality and entropy to create intricate, non-linear narrative and action sequences.
What it is
A secret agent, known only as the Protagonist, is recruited into a mysterious organization called Tenet, which manipulates 'time inversion' to prevent a future war. Instead of traveling through time, objects and people can have their entropy reversed, moving backward through time from their perspective. The film features complex, non-linear action sequences and challenges the audience's perception of causality and the flow of time.
