With flashbacks/forwards the movie tells its story out of sequence, with details hinting at things that have already happened but that we have not seen yet.
Two magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), began as friends, working together as another illusionist's assistants, but were driven apart when Angier's wife was killed during a trick. Before you can say Presto Chango, a bitter rivalry is born between them – each willing to go to great lengths to sabotage the career of the other. They use deception, disguises, and even a woman they both care for (Scarlett Johansson) as a pawn in this game of one-upmanship. Michael Caine warns us that you have to get your hands dirty to be a great magician – and these guys do.
Nikola Tesla (David Bowie), is even drawn into their competition, as he's sought after to create the ultimate "transported man" trick involving a frightening electrical apparatus.
