Subject line: TENET – Thriller Conventions

Unwitting but Resourceful Hero: We meet the Protagonist, who is a CIA operative, on a falsified mission who ends up tortured and seemingly dead. He is then repaired, recovered and recruited by an unknown organization call Tenet. The Protagonist builds a team to assist him on his mission. He continues on the known mission from Tenet and learns of time inversion, practices the art of the heist, deception and blackmail. The Protagonist then ‘John McClane’s’ his way through events with time inversion and temporal pincer to prevent World War III.

Dangerous Villain: Sator is a rouge Russian czar with working foresight. He wants to end all life on the planet, including his own diseased life, with the influence and help of people in the future. He intends to eliminate anyone that gets in his way. Through his future resources and his men, he wants to start World War III by putting together a physical algorithm starting reverse entropy to end all life on the planet.

High stakes: Survival of the entire world, Protagonist life, Neil’s life, Kat’s life, Max’s life along with his influence and safety, getting close to Sator without being found out, using time inversion and temporal pincer without getting killed.

Life and death situations: Protagonist life in balance at the opera. Protagonist tortured on the tracks. Kat in the car out of control on the freeway and the Protagonist and Neil trying to save her. Protagonist being beat up in hotel kitchen. Protagonist and Neil in the Freeport and in the parking lot. Protagonist and Neil infiltrating Priya and Sanjay’s Apartment to question them about buyer. Sator being thrown off the sailboat. Protagonist’s freeway heist of the package. Saving Kat in the time inversion cargo ship. Warehouse interrogation in front of the proving window by the revolving, inversion door for Protagonist and Kat. Kat pulling a gun on Sator in warehouse by the gun table. Kat being beat up by Sator by the gun table. Protagonist crashing on freeway and almost dying from hypothermia by gasoline explosion in freeway accident area. Kat on the super yacht about to kill Sator. Sator’s death on the super yacht. The Stalsk-12 hypocenter battle for Protagonist, Neil, Ives and their units. Protagonist and Ives fighting Volkov in the dead drop. Neil’s death on Dead drop platform. Protagonist and Ives almost getting killed or buried alive with the algorithm. At the end, Ives grabs the algorithm and pulls a gun on Protagonist and Neil. Kat picking up Max from school.

This movie is thrilling because:… It Almost immediately starts action packed. We want to understand and see the inversion time sequences, temporal pincer and how they end up successful or tragic. We worry for the survival of the Protagonist, Neil, Kat, and worry for Max’s future way of learning and safety in life. There is immediate danger flowing throughout and keeps you alert on the time process of the story unfolding, refolding, replaying and reverse playing from another perspective. The intense, angry character of Sator. We have never seen a film like this before.
