In Inception (2010), the spinning hallway fight was practical — no CGI. Christopher Nolan had Warner Bros. build a 100-foot rotating corridor on gimbals, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt trained for weeks to fight while strapped in.

That mind-bending café scene in Inception (2010) — the explosions were real, not CGI. Christopher Nolan used high-pressure air cannons to blast debris, paper, and glass into the air while the actors sat calmly at the table. Practical effects making dreams feel real.

In his career, Christopher Nolan has said that the opening hijacking of The Dark Knight Rises (2012) is the scene he is most proud of — shot using practical effects, with a real plane fuselage suspended between helicopters in Scotland instead of CGI.
