Tagline: Are you watching closely?
Bale and Jackman will play rival magicians in turn-of-the-century London who battle each other for trade secrets. The title refers to the residue left after a magician's successful trick.
"We were two young men at the start of a great career.
Two young men devoted to an illusion.
Two young men who never intended to hurt anyone."
--Alfred Borden, The Prestige.
From acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "Batman Begins") comes an innovative thriller woven out of the stuff of illusions. In this twisting, turning tale of urgent mystery, two Victorian-era magicians spark a powerful rivalry that builds into an escalating battle of tricks and an unquenchable thirst to uncover the other's trade secrets. As these two remarkable men pit daring against desire, showmanship against science and ambition against friendship, the results are dangerous, deadly and definitely deceptive.
Their rivalry is brought to life by two of today's most compelling screen stars: Tony Award winner Hugh Jackman, beloved on screen for his portrayal of the feral Wolverine in "X-Men" and its sequels, and Christian Bale, acclaimed for his intense performances including his recent turn as the Caped Crusader in "Batman Begins."
