Magic Is Inescapable

Academy Award Winner Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago) and Guy Pearce (LA Confidential) star in this remarkable love story from acclaimed director Gillian Armstrong. Zeta-Jones stars as Mary McGarvie: a beautiful con artist who, with the help of her young daughter (Academy Award Nominee Saoirse Ronan, Atonement/i>), fools audiences into believing she is psychic. When the legendary magician Harry Houdini (Pearce) comes to town with a skeptic's challenge -- $10,000 to anyone who can correctly "channel" his mother's last dying words - Mary accepts his test. Entranced, Houdini enters into a passionate affair with the charming clairvoyant even as he prepares for most dangerous stunt of his career.
