The War Magician (2005)

Year of U.S. Release: 2005

Director: Peter Weir
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Genre(s): Action, Adventure, Drama
U.S. Release Date: TBA, 2005 (Estimated)
arrowPlot Summary:
A patriotic British stage magician volunteers his illusionist abilities to help battle the Nazis. After proving his potential value to skeptical commanders, he and a few cohorts are sent to North Africa, where British troops are being pounded by Gen. Rommel. He helps halt Rommel's charge through a campaign of deception. He camouflages a key British-occupied harbor by creating a bogus one that bears the brunt of nightly bombing raids; shields troops in the Suez Canal through a system of anti-aircraft searchlights and mirrors that blind Nazi pilots; and camouflages British weaponry and uses props to give the appearance of a stronger fighting force.
