It's pretty clear that Infinity Ward watched the movie Inception during the development of MW3, because the mission Aftermath, where the player is tasked with keeping the Russian President alive on a hijacked plane, is full of zero-gravity insanity where you must kill floating, machine gun-totting terrorists.

It's a ludicrously fun mission both in the air and on the ground once the plane crashes, feeling ripped out of a high-octane action flick and ending in shocking fashion as player character Andrei Harkov is murdered by Makarov, who then kidnaps the President.

The confined space, crazy lack of gravity and superbly cinematic style add up to make this by far MW3's best mission, and for sure a solid gold classic of the series.
