Four stage magicians,
J. Daniel "Danny" Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merrit McKinney (Woody Harrelson), Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), are each given a tarot card that lead them to the same empty
New York City apartment, where they find information from an unknown
benefactor.
A year later,
the four perform their first major performance as the Four Horsemen in an
elaborate Las Vegas show funded by insurance magnate Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine). Their final trick appears
to transport one of the audience members to the vault of his bank, the Credit
Republicain in Paris, where stacks of new euro bills are stored. At the
magicians commands, the fans in the vault activate, drawing the bills into the
vents and then showering the Las Vegas crowd with them. The euros are shown to
be real, and the vault in Paris is found to be empty of its recent shipment of
euros, leading FBI
agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo),
and Interpol agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent),
to be partnered and investigate the Horsemen. The two question the magicians
but have no evidence to hold them. Dylan and Alma turn to Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), a former magician who now
helps to explain the tricks behind other magic acts. Thaddeus demonstrates how
they used a mock vault under the Las Vegas stage, and that the group must have
stolen the money in Paris before it arrived at the bank, replacing it with flash paper that left no evidence.
Dylan, Alma,
and Thaddeus follow the Horsemen to their next show in New Orleans, where their
final trick appears to transfer millions of dollars from Tressler's private
accounts to those in the audience, made up of people that were denied insurance
claims by Tressler's company in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Dylan and Alma attempt
to apprehend the four, but the magicians elude capture. Tressler hires Thaddeus
to expose the Horsemen in revenge for the loss of his money. Alma investigates
the Horsemen and determines they are connected to a group called the Eye, a
small group of magicians that claim to have access to real magic. She finds out
one of the Eye's members, Lionel Shrike, had previously been exposed by
Thaddeus but died in a locked-safe escape trick he was performing to try to
regain his standing. Alma suspects a fifth person is aiding the Horsemen.
Alma's research
leads the FBI to the New York City apartment. When they raid it, the other
three escape while Jack recovers numerous documents and then leads the
authorities on a high-speed car chase. Jack loses control of his car, causing
it to flip and catch fire. Dylan is unable to save Jack, but manages to recover
the papers, pointing to the Horsemen's next planned crime, stealing millions of
dollars in cash out of a large Elkhorn safe. Dylan, Alma, and Thaddeus find the
safe has already been stolen, and when they track it down, its contents have
been replaced with balloon animals. The Horsemen broadcast they will perform
their final show that night at 5 Point, inviting the public to attend. The FBI
and police converge on the scene and amid the chaos search for the Horsemen.
The remaining Horsemen appear to the crowd, giving their fans a farewell and a
message about an ulterior purpose, and then run to jump off a roof; Dylan
attempts to shoot them but Alma holds him back. The three jump, turning into a
shower of money over the crowd. The money is counterfeit, but the audience's
race to collect it prevents the authorities from tracking the real Horsemen.
After the show,
Thaddeus walks to his car, only to find it full of the money stolen from the
Elkhorn safe, and he is arrested. Dylan speaks to Thaddeus in jail, where
Thaddeus slowly comes to realize that Alma's theory was correct, and Dylan was
the fifth Horseman. Dylan quietly walks away. Elsewhere, the Horsemen,
including Jack who had faked his death, meet at the carousel in Central Park,
and use their tarot cards to turn it on. Dylan arrives and welcomes the four to
the Eye.
Later, at the Pont des Arts, Dylan meets with Alma and
reveals he is Shrike's son. He brought the Horsemen together to get retribution
for his father's death: the Elkhorn Safe Company for providing a faulty safe
that led to the accident, Thaddeus for humiliating him, and the Credit Republicain
and Tressler's insurance companies for failing to pay out afterwards. Alma, who
has come into a romantic relationship with Dylan, decides not to turn him in.
She takes a lock and a key that Dylan produces, putting the lock
on a chain fence and throwing the key into the Seine.
In the scene Jack Wilder trying to
deceive the tourists who are on the ship by magic with his skills at hand with
that Jack Wilder can make money and take, or stealing other people’s things.
Favorite Scene 2:
In the scene Merrit
McKinney to show
the magic with expertise hypnotizing someone. Merrit McKinney
for a dozen visitors in the studio
to help them in terms of the magic, and Merrit McKinney to do show by a dozen visitors in
the studio fell a sleep with the word “Down, down. Sleep, sleep. Completely
sleep”.
