Which 2006 film directed by Christopher Nolan featured rival magicians? The Prestige.

The Prestige is a 2006 psychological science-fiction thriller about Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, two stage magicians whose professional competition becomes a dangerous personal feud. Set largely in Victorian London, the story follows their escalating attempts to create and sabotage spectacular illusions.

Christopher Nolan directed the film and co-wrote its screenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan. It adapts Christopher Priest’s 1995 novel of the same name. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale play the rival magicians, while Michael Caine appears as their engineer and mentor, John Cutter.

The film’s supporting cast includes Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Andy Serkis, and David Bowie as inventor Nikola Tesla. Its title comes from the third part of a magic trick: the pledge, the turn, and the prestige. The Illusionist, released in the same year, also concerns stage magic, which is why it is a particularly tempting mix-up; Now You See Me was released in 2013.
