Plot: A supernatural mystery that combines romance, politics and magic. When word of mysterious stage magician Eisenheim's astounding illusions reaches the powerful and pragmatic Viennese Crown Prince Leopold, the ruler attends one of the magician's shows in order to debunk Eisenheim during the performance. But when the Prince's intended, Sophie von Teschen, assists the magician onstage, Eisenheim and Sophie recognize each other from their childhoods - and a dormant love affair is rekindled. As the clandestine romance continues, Vienna's shrewd Chief Inspector Uhl is charged by Leopold to intensify his efforts to expose Eisenheim, even while the magician gains a devoted and vocal public following. With Uhl doggedly searching for the reasons and the man behind the trickery, Eisenheim prepares to execute his greatest illusion yet.
