Armed with Tenet only one word – Tenet – and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.
The Protagonist, a CIA operative, participates in an extraction at the Kyiv Opera House. His team retrieves an artifact but he is captured, tortured by mercenaries, and ultimately consumes a suicide pill.
Some time later, the Protagonist awakens to learn the artifact was lost and the pill was a fake, designed as a test. An organization called Tenet recruits him and briefs him on bullets with “inverted” entropy, meaning they move backward through time. After meeting his handler, Neil, they trace the inverted bullets to arms dealer Priya Singh in Mumbai.
The pair discovers that Priya is a member of Tenet, and that her cartridges were purchased and inverted by Russian oligarch Andrei Sator. The Protagonist approaches Sator’s estranged wife, Kat, an art appraiser who authenticated a forged Goya drawing that Sator purchased from an acquaintance of hers. Sator discovered Kat’s mistake and is using it to blackmail her.
In exchange for Kat’s help, the Protagonist and Neil attempt to steal the drawing from Sator’s freeport storage facility at the Oslo Airport, where they fend off two masked men who emerge from each side of a large machine. In Mumbai, Priya later explains the machine is a “turnstile”, a device which can invert an object’s entropy, and that the two men were actually the same person, traveling in opposite directions through time.
On the Amalfi Coast, Kat introduces the Protagonist to Sator, who reveals he still has the forged Goya drawing. Sator, enraged and jealous, plans to kill the Protagonist, but the Protagonist instead saves Sator’s life when Kat attempts to drown him. The men strike a partnership to retrieve a case from Kyiv that supposedly contains plutonium-241 (though it is later revealed the case contains another artifact).
The ancient Sator Square, which inspired the film’s title, as well as two character names (Sator and Arepo, the Goya forger), the location of the opening sequence (Opera), and the name of Sator’s construction company (Rotas).
In Tallinn, the Protagonist and Neil successfully steal the case but are then ambushed by an inverted Sator holding Kat hostage. The Protagonist gives an empty case to Sator and rescues Kat, but they are soon recaptured and taken to a warehouse with a turnstile. The inverted Sator demands the location of the object and shoots Kat with an inverted round. As Sator escapes into the turnstile, Tenet operatives led by Ives arrive, and the heroes take Kat through the turnstile to allow her inverted wound to heal.
