Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman lead the cast with sharp, contrasting performances that mirror their characters’ opposing philosophies on magic. The film’s title refers to the third act of a magic trick—the final reveal—and the structure of the story follows this very format. David Bowie was personally chosen by Nolan to play Nikola Tesla, bringing mystique to the real-life inventor whose machine becomes key to the plot. Christopher Nolan deliberately filmed in chronological disorder, encouraging viewers to engage like detectives unraveling a trick. The Prestige received critical acclaim for its intricate storytelling, haunting score, and themes of duality, sacrifice, and obsession.
