Question

How accurate is the depiction of Nikola Tesla in the film 'The Prestige'?

Answer 1

Very.  Except for the goatee.

Answer 2

I gotta see that movie. Tesla and Edison are my heroes.

Answer 3

He did have a place in Colorado, he would invite investors in to wow them and try to get them to give him money.

Answer 4

How accurate is any individual when they are portrayed in a movie? About the only things that were accurate is that he lived in Colorado Springs and did experiments with electricity.  If you want to learn more about the real Tesla then read a book, dont watch a Hollywood movie about "magic".
