TENET Release date: August 27 | Starring: John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia and Michael Caine | Blockbuster auteur Christopher Nolan’s latest sci-fi epic is touted to be his grandest yet and is already earning praise among critics. Armed with only one word — Tenet — and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist (Washington) journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time. Not time travel. Inversion.
