In the late 19th century, people's understanding of scientific civilization was still quite limited, thus, Angier (played by Hugh Jackman) and Borden (played by Christian Bale) became the magical figures of London with their magic tricks. Angier, born into nobility, had spectacular and varied magical techniques, making him a regular performer in wealthy circles. Borden, despite his humble background, gained fame through his competitive spirit and creative magical skills. The two were once close friends, but now they each occupy their own territory in the magic world, both with ambitions to become the top magician in the music hall, leading to an intense rivalry filled with both overt and covert conflicts.
Borden mastered an incredible duplication trick, which was both popular and well-received. As Angier saw the situation turning against him, he enlisted the help of a scientist—his invention of alternating current had endless magical power, guaranteed to astound the audience. The two exchanged blows, escalating the conflict fiercely, as friendship and morals were cast aside, and a bloody incident quietly brewed.
