Plot: An adaptation of the acclaimed Christopher Priest novel by Director Christopher Nolan ("Batman Begins", "Memento", "Insomnia"). A pair of rival magicians in turn-of-the-century London each has a winning trick the other craves. Yet so arcane is the nature of these tricks, so incredibly difficult are they to perform, that they take on a peculiar life of their own - in one case involving a mysterious apparent double identity, in the other a reliance on the ferocious powers unleashed in the early experimental years of electricity. The rivalry of the two men is such that in the end, though both are ashamed of the strength of their feelings of spite and envy, it consumes them both, and affects their respective families for generations.
