Mind-Blowing Movie Plot Twists That Nobody Saw Coming

The Prestige

Christopher Nolan's The Prestige follows two protagonists, rival magicians Albert Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), who make their living by deceiving audiences. In their final confrontation, Borden shoots Angier, who framed Borden's twin brother for his murder. As part of his act, Angier has faked his own death using a cloning technology purchased from Nikola Tesla (David Bowie), but Borden never finds out which Angier will perform The Prestige and which drowns in a tank beneath the stage.
