The Prestige

The story of 'The Prestige' begins in a rapidly changing Victorian-era London. At a time when magicians are idols and celebrities of the highest order, two young magicians set out to carve their own paths to fame. They are two contrasting characters: Robert Angier (played by Tony Award winner Hugh Jackman, beloved on screen for his portrayal of the feral Wolverine in "X-Men" and its sequels) and Alfred Borden (played by Christian Bale -- acclaimed for his intense performances including his recent turn as the Caped Crusader in "Batman Begins").

They start out as admiring friends and partners. But when their biggest trick goes terribly awry, they become enemies for life -- each intent on outdoing and upending the other. Trick by trick, show by show, their ferocious competition builds until it knows no bounds, even utilizing the fantastical new powers of electricity and the scientific brilliance of Nikola Tesla -- while the lives of everyone around them hang in the balance. Rife with sleight-of-hand shocks and revelations, the film delves into a riveting world where the farthest, darkest edges of faith, trust and the possible are probed.

From acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "Batman Begins") comes this innovative thriller woven out of the stuff of illusions. The film boasts of an exceptional cast of diverse characters portrayed by two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine, Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson, newcomer Rebecca Hall, rising actress Piper Perabo, fantasy-film cult hero Andy Serkis and rock star David Bowie as the groundbreaking electricity-genius Nikola Tesla
