'''''Tenet''''' is a 2020 [[science fiction film|science fiction]] [[action thriller film]] written and directed by [[Christopher Nolan]], who also produced it with his wife [[Emma Thomas]]. A co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, it stars [[John David Washington]], [[Robert Pattinson]], [[Elizabeth Debicki]], [[Dimple Kapadia]], [[Michael Caine]], and [[Kenneth Branagh]]. The film follows a former [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] agent who is recruited into a secret organization, tasked with tracing the origin of objects that are [[Retrocausality|traveling backwards through time]] and their connection to an attack from the future to the present. Nolan continued his relationship with [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]] and his production company [[Syncopy Inc.|Syncopy]] for the film's production and distribution.

Nolan took over five years to write the screenplay after deliberating about ''Tenet''(('s)) central ideas for more than a decade. Pre-production began in late 2018, casting took place in March 2019, and principal photography lasted six months, from May to November, in Denmark, Estonia, India, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Cinematographer [[Hoyte van Hoytema]] shot on [[65 mm film]] and [[IMAX]]. After [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema|delays]] due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], ''Tenet'' was released in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2020, and in the United States on September 3, 2020, in IMAX, [[35 mm movie film|35 mm]], and 70&nbsp;mm.

It was the first Hollywood [[Tent-pole (entertainment)|tent-pole]] to open in theaters during the pandemic and grossed $365&nbsp;million worldwide against a $200&nbsp;million budget, making it the [[2020 in film#Highest-grossing films|fifth-highest-grossing film of 2020]] despite failing to [[break even]]. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was nominated in two categories at the [[93rd Academy Awards]], winning [[Academy Award for Best Visual Effects|Best Visual Effects]]. ''Tenet'' also received [[List of accolades received by Tenet|other accolades]] including [[BAFTA Award for Best Special Visual Effects|Best Special Visual Effects]] at the [[74th British Academy Film Awards]]. The film has since gained a [[cult following]] amongst science fiction enthusiasts and Nolan's fanbase.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://discussingfilm.net/2023/09/03/tenet-is-christopher-nolans-boldest-experiment/|title='Tenet' is Christopher Nolan's Boldest Experiment|first=James Preston|last=Poole|date=September 4, 2023|website=DiscussingFilm))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://movieweb.com/box-office-flops-we-love/|title=25 Box Office Flops We've Grown to Love|first=Mike|last=Damski|date=April 6, 2023|website=MovieWeb))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/features/tenet-rerelease|title=The People Who Never Stopped Loving Tenet|first=Tim|last=Grierson|date=February 21, 2024|website=RogerEbert.com))</ref>

== Plot ==
On a date referred to as "the 14th", the Protagonist leads a covert [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] [[Extraction (military)|extraction]] during a staged terrorist siege at an Opera House in [[Kyiv]]. He is saved from [[Rapid Operational Response Unit|KORD]] forces by an unknown operative wearing a red trinket. The Protagonist retrieves an artifact but his team is captured and tortured. He swallows a [[suicide pill]] but wakes up to find it was a fake; a test that only he has passed. He is recruited by "Tenet", a secretive organization that briefs him on objects with "inverted" [[entropy]] that move [[T-symmetry|backward through time]]. With his [[Agent handling|handler]] Neil, he traces them to Priya Singh, an arms dealer in [[Mumbai]].

Priya reveals that she is a member of Tenet and the man who inverted her bullets, [[Russian oligarch]] Andrei Sator, is communicating with the future. Sator's estranged wife Kat Barton is an [[art appraisal|art appraiser]] who [[Authenticity in art#Nominal authenticity|authenticated]] a forged [[Francisco Goya|Goya]] by her friend Arepo, which Sator purchased to blackmail her. To get Kat's help, the Protagonist and Neil try to steal the Goya from Sator's [[Free economic zone|freeport]] facility at [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen|Oslo Airport]] but are thwarted by two masked men who emerge from either side of a machine. In Mumbai, Priya explains it was a "turnstile", a device that inverts entropy. The two men were the same person, traveling in opposite directions in time. She reveals that Sator sabotaged his CIA team but KORD got the artifact, [[plutonium-241]].

Unaware of his failure to steal the Goya, Kat introduces the Protagonist to Sator in Italy, who plans to kill him until he mentions Kyiv. When he saves Sator's life after Kat tries to drown him, they cooperate to intercept the plutonium. The Protagonist and Neil steal the artifact in [[Tallinn]] but are ambushed by an inverted Sator holding Kat hostage. The Protagonist hides the artifact and rescues Kat. However, they are recaptured and taken to another freeport in Tallinn, where the inverted Sator interrogates them for the location of the artifact, eventually shooting Kat with an inverted bullet. Tenet troops led by Commander Ives arrive, but Sator escapes via a turnstile. To save Kat's life, they all invert themselves. The inverted Protagonist drives back to the ambush to retrieve the artifact but encounters Sator, who takes it.

To un-invert, the Protagonist travels back in time to the freeport in Oslo, fights his past self, and enters the turnstile, followed by Neil and a healing Kat. In Oslo, Priya tells him Sator now has all nine pieces of the "Algorithm", a device that future antagonists need to invert the entropy of the world and destroy its past. She planned for Sator to get the artifact to reveal the other eight pieces in preparing his [[dead drop]]. Recalling an earlier conversation with Sir Michael Crosby, the Protagonist realizes it is a [[hypocenter|nuclear hypocenter]] detonated on "the 14th" in Sator's hometown of [[Closed city|Stalsk-12]].

On a Tenet ship traveling back to "the 14th", Kat reveals Sator has terminal [[cancer]] and is [[Human extinction|omnicidal]]. They work out that after the Kyiv opera house seige on "the 14th", Sator returns to a family vacation in [[Vietnam]] to commit suicide, sending the dead drop coordinates to the future via a [[dead man's switch]]. 

Arriving at "the 14th", Kat poses as her past self in Vietnam to keep Sator alive until the Tenet forces in Stalsk-12 recover the Algorithm. They use a "temporal [[pincer movement]]", with both non-inverted and inverted troops making a diversionary attack so the Protagonist and Ives can steal the Algorithm before detonation. Sator's henchman Volkov traps them in the hypocenter. Calling from Vietnam, Sator explains the antagonists are trying to escape the effects of [[climate change]].  As Volkov is about to execute the Protagonist, an inverted soldier with a red trinket appears and sacrifices themself, enabling the Protagonist and Ives to escape with the Algorithm just as the hypocenter detonates, which is also just when Kat kills Sator. 

As they break up the Algorithm to hide it, the Protagonist sees the red trinket on Neil's bag. Neil reveals he was recruited in his past by a future Protagonist, and they have known each other for a long time. He must now return to the recent timeline in which an inverted Neil dies. In a final scene in London, Priya plans to kill Kat, given her knowledge. Realizing that he created Tenet, the Protagonist kills Priya first, watching Kat leave with her son.

Guy Lodge of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' described ''Tenet'' as a "grandly entertaining, time-slipping spectacle".<ref name="Lodge-Aug2020" /> ''[[The Guardian]]'' critic [[Peter Bradshaw]] felt it was both "madly preposterous" and "amazing cinema".<ref name="Bradshaw-Aug2020" /> [[Kevin Maher (writer)|Kevin Maher]] of ''[[The Times]]'' awarded the film a full five stars, deeming it "a delightfully convoluted masterpiece".<ref name="Maher-Aug2020" /> [[Robbie Collin]] of ''[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]]'' likened it to Nolan's ''Inception'' and praised the "depth, subtlety and wit of Pattinson and Debicki's performances".<ref name="Collin-Aug2020" /> In his review for ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', [[Peter Travers]] described the film as "pure, ravishing cinema" and called Washington a "star-in-the-making" who "brings a natural athletic grace to the stunts and hand-to-hand combat".<ref name="Travers-Aug2020" /> ''[[The Dispatch]]''(('s)) Alec Dent found ''Tenet'' to have "a gloriously innovative storyline with incredible visuals to match".<ref name="Dent-Sep2020" /> Mark Daniell of the ''[[Toronto Sun]]'' gave the film four out of four stars, deeming it "the cinematic equivalent of a [[Rubik's Cube]]".<ref name="Daniell-Aug2020" /> [[Richard Roeper]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave it three and a half out of four stars, praising Debicki's "mesmerizing" portrayal and concluding that "it's the kind of film that reminds us of the magic of the moviegoing experience", despite not reaching "cinematic greatness".<ref name="Roeper-Aug2020" /> Keith Phipps of ''[[The Ringer (website)|The Ringer]]'' wrote that ''Tenet'' has the makings of a [[cult film]], with "a failed release due to the pandemic, a muted critical reception, and a twisty narrative that demands multiple viewings".<ref name="Phipps-Jan2021" /> Director [[Denis Villeneuve]] called the film "a masterpiece" and "an incredible cinematic achievement".<ref name="O'Connell-Oct2021" />

[[James Berardinelli]] noted that the film "may be the most challenging of Nolan's films to date" in terms of "the concepts forming the narrative's foundation: backwards-moving entropy, non-linear thinking, temporal paradoxes", but questioned whether its runtime "might prove to be problematic".<ref name="Berardinelli-Aug2020" /> He named it the best film of 2020.<ref>((Cite web |last=Berardinelli |first=James |title=Rewinding 2020: The Year in Movies (The Top 10) |url=https://www.reelviews.net/reelthoughts/reelthought_1610806494 |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=Reelviews Movie Reviews |language=en |archive-date=March 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318024117/https://www.reelviews.net/reelthoughts/reelthought_1610806494 |url-status=live ))</ref> Leslie Felperin of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' felt that Washington was "dashing but a little dull" and that Debicki's performance "adds a color to Nolan's palette, and [she] has persuasive chemistry with Branagh in their joint portrait of a violent, dysfunctional love-hate relationship". She concluded that ''Tenet'' is "rich in audacity and originality", but lacks "a certain humanity".<ref name="Felperin-Aug2020" /> Jessica Kiang of ''[[The New York Times]]'' described the film as Nolan's "time-bending" take on [[James Bond]], praising the film's cinematography, score, editing, acting, and "immaculately creaseless costumes", while also deeming it a "hugely expensive, blissfully empty spectacle".<ref name="Kiang-Aug2020" /> ''[[LA Weekly]]''(('s)) Asher Luberto also highlighted the similarities between ''Tenet'' and the [[Production of the James Bond films|James Bond films]], but also felt it was "a daring, surprising and entirely original piece of work, reverent in its spectacle and haunting in its mesmerizing, dreamlike form".<ref name="Luberto-Sep2020" /> Branagh's character was described by some critics as a stereotypical [[Stereotype#Role in art and culture|Russian villain]].<ref name="Sarkisian-Aug2020" /><ref name="Tallerico-Aug2020" /> Christina Newland of ''[[New York (magazine)|Vulture.com]]'' called Branagh "silly-accented ... as a Bond-villain-esque Russian mastermind".<ref name="Newland-Aug2020" />

Mike McCahill of [[IndieWire]] gave the film a "C−" grade and called it "a humorless disappointment".<ref name="McCahill-Aug2020" /> [[Michael Phillips (critic)|Michael Phillips]] of the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' awarded it two out of four stars, writing that he wished the film "exploited its own ideas more dynamically".<ref name="Phillips-Aug2020" /> The ''[[New York Post]]''(('s)) Johnny Oleksinski also gave it two out of four stars, calling it Nolan's most "confusing" work so far, but acknowledged being "swept up by Nolan's incomparable cinematic vision".<ref name="Oleksinski-Aug2020" /> Kathleen Sachs of the ''[[Chicago Reader]]'' gave the film one and a half out of four stars, concluding that Nolan "doesn't show much growth in his most recent self-indulgent work".<ref name="Sachs-Sep2020" /> Brian Lloyd of ''[[Entertainment.ie]]'' said poor [[sound mixing]] "often" rendered dialog inaudible when viewed on 35&nbsp;mm film, suggesting viewing the film on [[Digital Cinema Package]] files to reduce the problem.<ref name="Lloyd-Aug2020" /> The ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]''(('s)) [[Mick LaSalle]] also found ''Tenet'' "difficult to understand", and continued that "even worse, it inspires little desire to understand it".<ref name="LaSalleJohnson-Dec2020" />

=== Palindromes and anadromes ===
((stack|[[File:Sator Square at Oppède.jpg|thumb|The first-century Latin [[Sator Square]], which inspired the film's title, as well as two character names (Sator and Arepo, the Goya forger), the location of the opening sequence (Opera), and the name of Sator's security company (Rotas).]]))
[[Palindromes]] (words which are spelled the same forwards and backwards) and [[Anadrome|anadromes]] (words which when spelled backwards produce another word) appear throughout the film in various guises. The five-letter words from the palindromic [[Sator Square]] appear as names and locations in the film: "Sator" (the Russian oligarch); "Arepo" (the art forger); "Tenet" (the name of the film and the Protagonist's organization); "Opera" (the opening scene takes place at the Kyiv Opera House); and "Rotas" (the name of the security company running Oslo Freeport).<ref>((Cite web |last=Wilkinson |first=Alissa |date=September 4, 2020 |title=The ancient palindrome that explains Christopher Nolan's Tenet |url=https://www.vox.com/culture/21419050/tenet-explained-sator-square-nolan |access-date=October 3, 2022 |website=Vox |language=en |archive-date=August 29, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210829181034/https://www.vox.com/culture/21419050/tenet-explained-sator-square-nolan |url-status=live ))</ref> There is a further nod to the word "Tenet" in the film's final battle in which the red and blue teams each have "ten" minutes to carry out their non-inverted ("ten") and inverted ("net") operations in Stalsk-12.<ref>((Cite web |last=Jung |first=Col |date=March 19, 2022 |title=Tenet plot explained |url=https://col-jung.medium.com/tenet-plot-explained-4721917678a8 |access-date=October 3, 2022 |website=Medium |language=en |archive-date=October 3, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221003094814/https://col-jung.medium.com/tenet-plot-explained-4721917678a8 |url-status=live ))</ref> When the Protagonist is being tortured, trains pass by in opposite directions. [[Ludwig Göransson]]'s score includes melodies that sound the same forward and backward.

[[Free will]] is a theme in ''Tenet''.<ref name="Crow-2021"/> There are suggestions that ''Tenet''<nowiki/>'s universe is [[Determinism|deterministic]], so what happens (including [[bootstrap paradox]]es) will always happen, and consequently, there is arguably no free will.<ref name="Crow-2021" /> One of the film's common refrains, "ignorance is our ammunition", could hint at the [[Illusionism (philosophy)|illusionist]] stance that free will does not exist but people should act as if they have free will.<ref name="Crow-2021" /> However, the characters (especially Neil) express uncertainty as to whether history can be altered, and say several times during the film, "what's happened, happened".<ref name="Crow-2021" /> Neil's attitude towards free will could be interpreted as [[Compatibilism|compatibilist]], whereby free will and determinism are seen as compatible.<ref name="Crow-2021" /> Kat is seen as the character who most strongly embodies free will in ''Tenet'' by choosing to stray from the plan and shoot Sator, at which point she is free from his control.<ref>((Cite web |date=September 12, 2020 |title=Elizabeth Debicki's Kat Is the True Heart of Tenet |url=https://www.escapistmagazine.com/elizabeth-debickis-kat-is-the-true-heart-of-tenet/ |access-date=September 19, 2022 |website=The Escapist |language=en-US |archive-date=September 20, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920173140/https://www.escapistmagazine.com/elizabeth-debickis-kat-is-the-true-heart-of-tenet/ |url-status=live ))</ref> Kat relays to the Protagonist that when she was returning with Max to Sator's yacht in Vietnam and saw a woman (her future self, unbeknownst to past Kat) diving gracefully off the yacht, she felt jealous of that woman's freedom.<ref name="Barry-2020"/> Similarly, there is uncertainty in ''Tenet'' regarding the [[grandfather paradox]] and whether the use of the Algorithm in the future, wiping out the past (the time of the events in ''Tenet''), would also wipe out the future.<ref>((Cite web |last=Gallagher |first=Simon |date=December 14, 2020 |title=Tenet Ending Explained: All Questions Answered |url=https://screenrant.com/tenet-ending-explained-timeline-nolan-questions/ |access-date=September 19, 2022 |website=ScreenRant |language=en-US |archive-date=September 20, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920172949/https://screenrant.com/tenet-ending-explained-timeline-nolan-questions/ |url-status=live ))</ref>''Tenet'' has been interpreted as a war between past and future.<ref>((Cite web |last=Pym |first=Olivia |date=January 11, 2021 |title=The "Tenet" Ending Explained, Plus all Your Questions Answered |url=https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/film/a33753331/tenet-explained-ending/ |access-date=September 19, 2022 |website=Esquire |language=en-GB |archive-date=August 28, 2020 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20200828104631/https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/film/a33753331/tenet-explained-ending/ |url-status=live ))</ref><ref name="Barry-2020" />

===Scientific accuracy===
The plot revolves around reversing the [[entropy]] of things and people, resulting in [[time reversibility]],<ref name="EMILY ZEMLER" /> and the film references physics concepts including the [[second law of thermodynamics]], [[Maxwell's demon]], and [[Richard Feynman|Feynman]] and [[John Archibald Wheeler|Wheeler]]'s notion of a  [[one-electron universe]]; nonetheless,  Christopher Nolan stated in the film's press notes: "we're not going to make any case for this being scientifically accurate".<ref name="EMILY ZEMLER">((cite news
