The Prestige(tt0482571) Christopher Nolan delivers a mind-bending thriller woven from the fabric of illusion... In this mysterious tale filled with unexpected twists, two stage magicians in the Victorian era embark on an escalating battle and an insatiable thirst to uncover each other's professional secrets, turning their once-powerful rivalry into obsession. The consequences of these two grand men breaking audacity for passion, showmanship for science, and ambition for friendship become dangerous, deadly, and deceitful. It all begins in rapidly changing London at the turn of the century, where magicians are revered and idolized. In this era, two young magicians start paving their way to fame. Robert Angier (HUGH JACKMAN), extravagant and sophisticated, is a true showman, while Alfred Borden (CHRISTIAN BALE), unpolished and traditional, is a creative genius lacking the ability to showcase his magical ideas. They start as appreciative friends and partners, but when their greatest trick goes awry, a lifelong animosity between them begins; both intent on outperforming and undermining the other. Their excessive rivalry grows with each trick, each performance, until it becomes boundless, even involving the incredible powers of electricity and the scientific genius of Nikola Tesla...
