Obsession, jealousy, and deceit define the tense relationship shared between two turn-of-the-century magicians in Memento and Batman_Begins director Christopher_Nolan's dizzying tale of sleight of hand. Rupert Angier (Hugh_Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian_Bale) are London-based magicians of the highest order, both blessed with spectacular powers of deception and both cursed with unrelenting envy for one another's skills. When Alfred performs an awe-inspiring trick for which there seems no logical explanation, the friendly competition shared between the pair turns to deadly rivalry as the enraged Rupert determines to uncover his rival's deepest secrets. In the world of illusion, however, nothing is ever quite as it seems, and the rules of the physical world simply don't apply. Now, as bitter competition quickly begins to consume the souls of both performers, the firestorm birthed by their anger threatens to consume all who surround them. Michael_Caine, Scarlett_Johansson, and David_Bowie co-star in a feature that finds director/screenwriter Nolan reuniting with brother and Memento story author Jonathan_Nolan to adapt author Christopher_Priest's original novel. Jason Buchanan, Rovi
