Genres:

Christopher Nolan's breakout hit that has kept audiences guessing for 25 years by asking, "What do you really know when you can't remember anything?"

Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) has one goal in life: vengeance for the assault and murder of his wife. There's just one problem: Leonard can't remember who he is, what he's doing, who to trust, or what he knows thanks to a rare disorder that regularly wipes his short-term memory. Nolan's twisty, head-scratching three-hander co-stars indie darlings Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano, was nominated for two Oscars, and has been entered into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.
