The Prestige
The Prestige may not really count as sci-fi, but it certainly has some nerdy bona fides: released in 2006, it’s the movie Christopher Nolan released between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. It stars superhero actors Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, and Scarlett Johansson—and it’s about stage-magician turf wars in Victorian London. Plus, Michael Caine and Andy Serkis are in it, and David Bowie pops up as Tesla. Geek paradise! Watch on Apple TV+.
