Warner Bros. has released a character-driven featurette for director Chris Nolan’s upcoming mind-bender Inception. The clip introduces us to many of the film’s key players, including The Extractor, The Architect, The Point Man, The Forger, The Shade, and The Mark.

It’s a big bowl of trippy goodness. Look:

Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a business man involved in a process that allows him access into people’s minds and dreams. Things get complicated, however, when a rival (Ken Watanabe) begins to blackmail him.

The film costars Ellen Page (Hard Candy), Joseph Gordan-Levitt (G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra), Cillian Murphy (Red Eye), Marion Cotillard (Big Fish), Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Road), Lukas Haas (While She Was Out), Telulah Riley (“Dr. Who”), and Michael Cain (Dark Knight).

Inception arrives in theaters on July 16.
