The Prestige is widely considered one of Christopher Nolan’s most cleverly constructed films because its entire story is designed like a magic trick. The movie constantly hides clues in plain sight, allowing viewers to discover new details with every rewatch. Many fans claim the film becomes even better after a second viewing because the ending changes the meaning of several earlier scenes. The film is also based on the novel The Prestige by Christopher Priest and features a memorable performance by musician David Bowie as inventor Nikola Tesla. Despite earning less at the box office than some of Nolan’s later films, it has become a cult classic and is frequently ranked among the greatest mystery thrillers ever made.
