The Prestige to Return to Theaters for 20th Anniversary

Academy Award winner Christopher Nolan’s spellbinding thriller The Prestige is returning to the big screen beginning January 29, 2027. In celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary, The Walt Disney Studios will re-release the acclaimed film in theaters.

Today’s official announcement of the theatrical re-release of The Prestige comes 20 years to the day after the film’s original release in U.S. theaters on October 20, 2006. The Prestige earned two Academy Award nominations, for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction, and has since become one of the most celebrated and rewatched films of its era.

Christopher Nolan said, “I’m very excited to bring ‘The Prestige’ back to the big screen, and particularly thrilled to offer audiences the chance to see it on 70mm film, and on IMAX for the first time.”

The Prestige re-release gives audiences the chance to experience the film on 70mm and IMAX for the first time. It will also be presented in 35mm and Digital 2D formats.

Award-winning actors Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson star in The Prestige, the twisting, turning story that, like all great magic tricks, stays with you long after the final reveal.

Robert Angier (Jackman), a charismatic showman, and Alfred Borden (Bale), a gifted illusionist, are two young, passionate magicians – friends and partners until one fateful night when their biggest trick goes terribly wrong.

Now the bitterest of enemies, they will stop at nothing to learn each other’s secrets. As their rivalry escalates into a total obsession full of deceit and sabotage, they risk everything to become the greatest magician of all time. But nothing is as it seems, so watch closely.

The Prestige was directed by Christopher Nolan (The Odyssey, Oppenheimer, Interstellar) from a screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, based on the novel by Christopher Priest. The film was produced by Emma Thomas, Aaron Ryder, and Christopher Nolan.
