I have seen this movie about 3 times, and I have a pretty firm understanding of the plot in its entirety. However I feel like there is a scene missing that explains where and exactly whenI've been trying to piece this together in my head.
First P hijacks the caravan and steals the macguffin. OK good.
Then P throws an empty case to trick Sator. Obviously.
We then learn that PIf anyone can offer an explanation that would be great! Def one of my favorite movies of all time.
You are correct in inferring that the plutonium is in the back of the Saab in the forward time-line. All Sator has to do is tell his non-inverted men to retrieve it in the present, after team Tenet have already inverted when the warehouse is unguarded. This is indeed off screen, but if you watch the Tallinn car chase in reverse, when you first hear Sator's voice over the radio (when Neil says "it's not Estonion, it's backwards") you can hear him saying "...it's in the Saab... pick it up from the Freeport" (there's a reversed clip from the pirated version floating around).

Thanks mate. Ya on the third time watching, I started questioning myself... "did something happen off screen? Or was I so engrossed that I missed something again?ninenin wrote: ↑September 17th, 2020, 12:39 pmlife wrote: ↑September 16th, 2020, 10:52 pmIs There a Scene Missing during the Car Chase?

"I do remember the "It's not Estonian scene", if that is what is said played backwards, hats off. I should have never doubted Nolan ofc, what an easter egg for those who cared enough to look.

I actually agree with the tweet, because on the second viewing the audience will (hopefully) have the knowledge and insight just like Pattinson does
Don't know if anyone already mentioned it, but as they are inverted are they getting younger as well?
I mean, if that happens on a cellular level (like the stab wound on the protagonist arm), it should happen with everything on his body, right?

There doesn't seem to be anything that indicates as much. I think they continue aging. It's not a Benjamin Button thing.
