Now You See Me is an American heist thriller film . The plot follows an FBI agent and an Interpol detective
who track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their
performances and reward their audiences with the money.
The story starts with four magicians who present their first major
performance as the Four Horsemen in an elaborate Las Vegas show funded by
insurance magnate Arthur Tressler. Their final trick appears to transport one
of the audience members to the vault of his bank, 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, and Interpol agent,
to be partnered and investigate the Horsemen. The two question the magicians
but have no evidence to hold them.
It is a fast paced, psychological thriller that keeps the audience
captive till the end. One has to watch every scene to get to the end of the
reality of the whole plot. It is about the intelligence and shrewdness of human
mind that how one can use one’s skills for good or bad purposes. There are no
bounds to human mind and its genius, the question is how individuals use it.
