From 0:00 to 1:50, the track plays during Eames' attempt to lead the projections in the third level on a skiing chase. It should be noted that this track was loosely based on the music from the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which prominently features a skiing chase and is one of Christopher Nolan's favourite films.
