An amusing and engaging look at tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s daring, but illegal, high-wire routine performed between New York City’s World Trade Center’s twin towers in 1974. This documentary plays like a heist film, with as much anxiety and daring going into planning as the feat itself. You’ll laugh, gasp and shake your head with amazement at Petit’s stunt, often referred to as ‘the artistic crime of the century’!
