The Dark Knight Rises is the final installment of Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Batman trilogy. The film takes place eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, with Batman in hiding and Gotham City at peace thanks to the Dent Act. However, this tranquility is disrupted by Bane, a ruthless mercenary who seeks to destroy Gotham. Bane's plan involves using stolen Wayne Enterprises technology to create a nuclear bomb, isolating the city, and unleashing chaos by freeing prisoners from Blackgate Penitentiary. As Bane's grip on Gotham tightens, Bruce Wayne must confront his past and return as Batman to save the city. He forms alliances with Commissioner Gordon, Selina Kyle, and John Blake to thwart Bane's plans. The film culminates in a climactic battle between Batman and Bane, with the revelation that Talia al Ghul is the mastermind behind the plot.
