Christopher Nolan’s Greatest Sci-Fi Twist Is Officially Streaming on Netflix

The Prestige falls somewhere between them all. Nolan’s 2006 period thriller wraps an intricate puzzle around a deeply personal story about two rival magicians who destroy their lives trying to outwit and outperform each other. It's cerebral without becoming too heady, spectacular without losing its intimacy, and fantastical in ways that somehow feel historically plausible. Nearly 20 years after its theatrical release on Oct. 20, 2006, The Prestige is now streaming on Netflix, and it may be the most Nolanesque of any Nolan movie without veering in any overtly extreme directions.
