Christopher Nolan Director

previously directed Batman Begins

Two rival illusionists, Alfred Borden and Robert Angier, become embroiled in a bitter rivalry in Christopher Nolan's adaptation of the novel by Christian Priest.

Trivia:

The main characters' initials spell ABRA (Alfred Borden Robert Angier), as in Abracadabra, a common word used by magicians.

Quote: Olivia Wenscombe

[referring to Angier] He wants me to come work for you and steal your secrets.

Alfred Borden

What does he need my secrets for? His trick is top-notch. He vanishes, and then he reappears instantly on the other side of the stage - mute, overweight, and unless I'm mistaken, very drunk. It's astonishing, how does he do it?
