Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Prestige focuses on the rivalry between two magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) in late 19th-century London. In a bid to outdo each other, the two men engage in an increasingly dangerous game of deceit that can potentially lead to fatal consequences.

Since he cannot make new memories, he decides to take polaroids and tattoo important information on his body lest he might forget it.
Its star cast includes Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, among others. The film's non-linear narrative and final revelation adds to its complexity and makes it an excellent watch for viewers who enjoyed the plot twist of The Sixth Sense.
