Tenet movie Spoilers Follow! Christopher Nolan's Tenet continues many of the filmmaker's now-familiar conventions, such as puzzles, codes, non-linear narrative, and references to real-life history and mythology. Like Inception, Tenet takes a look at a shadowy world of espionage where codenames and locations offer the opportunity for Nolan to slip in unusual words or names that carry profound meaning when connected to the plot. In the case of Tenet, the very title of the film, along with some of the key names dropped during the mind-bending story, actually combine to reference a very famous word puzzle that perfectly captures the spirit of the movie.
