Christopher Nolan, who we know for his extraordinary films, is in the director’s chair of the 2006 film The Prestige, or Prestige, as it was released in our country. The Prestige movie, in which we watched master actors such as Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine, offers a psychological thriller in the dark London of the 19th century, although it starts as a simple magic story.
The relationship between fellow magicians Robert and Alfred falls apart when Robert’s wife dies and accuses Alfred of it. The duo, who are notorious as enemies, often sabotage each other. Alfred’s successful cheating makes Robert obsessed. If you liked the movie Prestige, where we watched a lot of surprises, suspense and action, there are other movies that you will enjoy watching at least as much.
