The Prestige

“Are You Watching Closely?”

Two rival magicians in Victorian London, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), perform the same illusion night after night, each obsessed with exposing the other's method. Both men sacrifice everything chasing a teleportation trick that promises to be truly impossible. The film spirals through layers of deception until the real cost becomes clear: in magic as in life, obsession devours the person chasing it.
