Background in 19th century London, two ambitious magician Robert and Alfred Borden compete for a position as the most prestigious magician.
The story begins with the court against Borden indictment with the murder of Robert, told in flashback how the two magician are compete, starting with their meeting as magician and how a tragedy occurred in a magic show, so the loss of Roberts wife. Since then they both separate and choose the way of life as magician to achieve a Prestige.
In a way that is not underhanded and casual Robert and Borden each other trying throw each other on the stage. Masquerade as a spectator and sabotage performance is a matter that they do to each throw.
Technical magic, competition in the making, learn, or steal magic tricks with the indicated interest in this film. Border Robert and each has qualified staff who help them to prepare for the show above the stages, like magician research n development. In the film described how the life of a magic show consists of three parts with the Prestige as the main the most important.
The Prestige presents how a work can change people to be ambitious to achieve the best, the expense of family, friends and yourself.
A movie comedy and feasible to provide time with 130 minutes to be able to enjoy the show
The essential that can be taken from this film is do not make a job or profession are everything, and do not make our life like an acting.

Sorry about the low rating, but it does not read well at all.
"A movie comedy and feasible to provide time with 130 minutes to be able to enjoy the show"
I assume this to be: A comedy movie, 130 minutes long. But I'm just not sure...
The general content is somewhat helpful, possibly even helpful, but with the way it is written I cannot read it properly, it took me a few reads to get proper sense out of it. Is English perchance your second language? If you re-write, please let me know and I will gladly come back and re-rate! If you need any help just let me know,

Review of The Prestige (DVD)
Advantages: Atmospheric historical drama. Wonderful costumes and sets. Disadvantages: Twists fore-shadowed early in the film too often missed first time around.

Review of The Prestige (DVD)
Advantages: Two rivals with one thing in common: Each has something hidden in plain sight. Disadvantages: None. Art house film marketing for major release due to it's all-star hollywood cast.
