The Protagonist offers to help Sator retrieve a case, which, he says, contains Plutonium-241. In Tallinn, the Protagonist and Neil ambush an armoured convoy and steal the case, which contains the artifact lost in Kyiv. They are ambushed by an inverted Sator, who holds Kat hostage. The Protagonist gives Sator an empty case, and he retreats. The Protagonist saves Kat, but is captured and taken to Sator's warehouse. The fascinating Trucks hijack scene in "Tenet".
Travis Scott's involvement in the soundtrack was a last-minute decision when director Christopher Nolan told Göransson he decided to add an end title track to the credit. According to Göransson, Travis Scott was sent the track "Trucks in Place" and "The Plan" was written from the beat of the former after having heard the track. Göransson added that a snippet of Scott's voice from "The Plan" was placed on top of The Protagonist's theme, which is audible in several tracks within the score, with him stating; "It ["The Plan"] was actually so good that me & Chris, we took a snippet of Travis' voice and placed it out on top of The Protagonist's theme throughout the movie. And that was kind of the last, missing piece of the puzzle that we just did."
What happens at the beginning of Tenet?
Washington wakes up on a boat, where his boss explains that his new mission is to join something called Tenet, which we know is the name of the movie but he doesn't. Then the CIA puts Washington inside a windmill. ... This is the movie's mission statement. Washington traces the inverted bullets to an arms dealer in Mumbai.
The concert hall is Linnahall, Kalasadama 4, a sprawling venue built for the 1980 Moscow Olympics on the coast of Tallinn Bay, back in the days when Estonia was part of the former Soviet Union.
The hall had stood derelict for about 10 years and was in a sorry state of disrepair, with damage to the seats, carpeting and even the structural concrete – not to mention the graffiti.
Casting
John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki were cast in March 2019. Washington, Pattinson, and Debicki were each only permitted to read the screenplay while locked in a room. Nolan chose Washington for his performance in BlacKkKlansman (2018). Pattinson based his character's mannerisms on those of author Christopher Hitchens. While Kat was originally going to be an older woman, Debicki's appearance in Widows (2018) convinced the filmmakers otherwise.
The ending of Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet,' explained. So it's no wonder audiences have been left puzzled by the ending of his latest offering, "Tenet."
When the plan is on the verge of failure, "backwards" Neil, driving a vehicle, drags Ives and the Protagonist out of the Hypocenter. The three decide to split up the algorithm between them and bury it in different points of time in order for it never to be reassembled and used to cause further destruction. It's at this point that Neil announces that he is going "back in" to the event, inverting himself again and insert himself into the timeline. The sad truth is unveiled: Neil is killed when he goes in backwards and saves Ives and the Protagonist. We had actually seen him lying on the floor of the Hypocenter before the detonation. So he is effectively stuck in a time loop, exiting the event only to go back in, reliving the events of "Tenet" over and over again.
This orange string on Neil's rucksack. It's the same bag carried by the mysterious man who saved the Protagonist from being shot at the National Opera House in Kyiv at the start of the movie. Neil had been there throughout, ensuring the continuation of the mission. Neil admits, "What's happened's happened."
What happened at the end with Neil?
In the Algorithm room, the Protagonist and Ives (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) encounter a locked gate. On the other side, they see the corpse of a masked soldier, who wears a red string on his backpack. One of Sator's men tries to shoot the Protagonist, but the masked man springs back to life, takes the bullet and unlocks the gate, allowing the Protagonist to prevent doomsday. He then reverses out of the tunnel. We later see the red string on Neil's backpack, when he reveals that he was recruited by the Protagonist in the future. So the masked soldier who dies is Neil.
