There seems to be a never ending love from the audience to the movies that take them in the world of the unknown and unreal. The predictable plots and stories are mainly considered boring and are only working in favor of those who can relate to them.

On the contrary, the movies that tell us stories about some hi-tech societies and undiscovered universes and the mysteries of time are highly appreciated by the viewers, as they make our imagination work and fill the movies and series with additional value.

However, there's a funny thing about sci-fi movies: they either become absolute hits or are totally undermined. Recent trends show that the first scenario is often the case. Among the highest-grossing movies ever created there are a lot of science fiction films.

However, one day his life gets complicated when he is asked to plant a dream into somebody else’s mind. Having agreed to do it, he prescribed a terrible ending for himself.

At the heart of the movie is a story about a thief who steals corporate secrets using dream-sharing technology and is assigned the task of implanting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O. However, this may never happen because his tragic past could doom the project and his team.
