Parents Guide for
The Prestige (2006) More at IMDbPro »

The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Note: The number at the beginning of each section refers to how much explicit content of that kind there is in the film on a scale of 1-10. The fraction at the end of the last section is the total sum of the sections over the highest sum possible (50) and is therefore an approximation of about how explicit the film is a whole.

Sex & Nudity: 2

People kiss, and a man and a woman showing her back hold each other and kiss.

Violence & Gore

Violence & Gore: 5

A man cuts another man's fingers off using a chisel (the man screams loudly and we see the bloody and bruised digits later).

A man shoots a man in the chest, the man gasps and slumps to the ground dead.

A woman hangs herself (we see her feet swinging off the ground).

A man has a noose placed around his neck, a hatch opens beneath his feet, and we hear a crack.

A bird gets smashed. A woman's fingers break (we see blood and hear the woman screaming).

A man shoots another man's hand, taking off two of his fingers (we see the bloody digits).

A man falls through stairs and into a box where he is trapped, the box is nailed shut and then buried underground (the man in the box shoots through it and strikes a man on the outside in the arm).

A man is held by police with a nightstick across his throat, and he thrashes and struggles to get away.

Profanity

Profanity: 4

1 scatological term, 1 anatomical term, 4 mild obscenities, name-calling (fool, stupid), 4 religious exclamations.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: 2

Men are shown drinking alcohol in a pub, people drink alcohol in several pub scenes, and people drink champagne in a celebratory scene.

A man fall into a water tank that locks (he struggles to get out but cannot) we see this scene again and a man tries to break the glass but cannot before the man drowns (we see the dead man on an autopsy table, his eyes are open and his body is pale).

A woman is lowered into a tank of water, the lid of the tank is locked, she is unable to get out and she thrashes and struggles.



An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is a little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. Indiana Jones), 20-25 is going to pretty darn adult (i.e. THIS); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for anyone under 17 (i.e. Braveheart); 30-40 is going to be an absolutely, positively adults-only film (i.e. Saving Private Ryan) and if a movie has ever gone past 40, then I haven't heard of it.

Total Explicit Content Estimation: 20/50.
