The Prestige
DramaMysterySci-FiThriller130 min
In Victorian London, two stage magicians turn a professional rivalry into a private war after a tragic accident binds them to each other’s secrets. Hugh Jackman is Robert Angier, a polished showman determined to outdo his rival, while Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) guards a trick that seems impossible to duplicate. As their feud escalates through sabotaged performances, stolen ideas, and cryptic diaries, Christopher Nolan threads together backstage mechanics, obsession, and the uneasy border where illusion starts to look like science.
