THRILLER OPENINGS

Inception(Nolan,2010)• Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction,

stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.

• Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved.

• Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one.

• If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

The Equalizer(Fuqua,2014) • In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he

has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life.

• But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by - he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened.

• If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

The Gambler(Wyatt,2014) • Jim Bennett is a risk taker. Both an English professor and a high-stakes

gambler, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster and offers his own life as collateral.

• Always one step ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the operator of a gambling ring and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother in his wake.

• He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank, a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett's future.

• As his relationship with a student deepens, Bennett must take the ultimate risk for a second chance...
