Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and
Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas Strip for
years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego.
But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship,
while secretly they've grown to loathe each other.
Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street
magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each
outrageous stunt, even their show is starting to look stale. But
there's still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act—both onstage and
off—if only Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in
the first place.
"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" stars Steve Carell and
Steve Buscemi as long-reigning headliners and one-time best friends
Burt and Anton, and Olivia Wilde as their glamorous magic assistant,
Jane. Alan Arkin stars as old-school illusionist Rance Holloway; James
Gandolfini as casino mogul Doug Munny; and Jim Carrey as the team's
number one rival, Steve Gray.
