When Christopher Nolan directs a movie, people automatically assume it will be a box office hit. But the 2020 movie - Tenet, made a hole in his track record.

The film was a story about an organization working to stop the world from World War Three through time reversal. But people found it to be too complex in its narrative when it was released. Despite that, slowly people started liking it, and like other Nolan films, it started receiving the appreciation it deserved.
