Christopher Nolan’s 2006 thriller The Prestige ends with two interlocking revelations. “Alfred Borden” was never one man but identical twin brothers sharing a single life — and Robert Angier’s impossible teleportation illusion was powered by Nikola Tesla’s machine, which duplicates rather than transports, so Angier drowned a version of himself in a water tank beneath … Read more

The short answer: The film never shows whether the top falls — and that’s deliberate. But the evidence leans toward Cobb being awake: Michael Caine (who appears in the final scene) revealed Nolan told him “when you’re in the scene, it’s reality,” and the top is visibly wobbling as the screen cuts to black.
