ABOUT THE FILM 
The Prestige is a 2006 psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. Set in 19th-century London, it follows two rival magicians, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, who are obsessed with outdoing each other through their illusions. Their rivalry intensifies as they both create increasingly dangerous and elaborate tricks. The film explores themes of obsession, sacrifice, deception, and the blurred line between reality and illusion. As each magician becomes more consumed by their quest for greatness, the cost of their rivalry grows, leading to personal and professional consequences. The narrative weaves through time, keeping the audience guessing. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“The word "prestige" originally meant a trick, from the Latin "praestigium," meaning "illusion."” 
  
“Nikola Tesla was a world-renowned inventor, physicist, and engineer. For a time, he conducted electrical experiments at his lab in Colorado Springs, where he was also known for his eccentric behavior.” 
  
“The editing of the film includes one hundred forty-six time jump cuts, where the next shot either flashes back or skips ahead to another time period in the storyline. This averages to almost one timeline jump per minute of the movie.”
