Now the bitterest of enemies, they will stop at nothing to learn each other’s secrets. As their rivalry escalates into a total obsession full of deceit and sabotage, they risk everything to become the greatest magician of all time. But nothing is as it seems, so watch closely.”

The Prestige is directed by Christopher Nolan from a screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, based on the novel by Christopher Priest. The film was produced by Emma Thomas, Aaron Ryder and Christopher Nolan.
