This incredible true story follows the life of Philippe Petit, a young dreamer who brings together a band of unlikely recruits to achieve the impossible: a wire walk between the World Trade Centre towers.
Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only one man – Philippe Petit (Gordon-Levitt) – has ever walked the void between the World Trade Centre towers.
It’s 1974 and French high-wire artist Philippe Petit is a young busker trying to make a living when he decides to make it his mission to walk a tightrope between the tallest buildings in the world – the World Trade Centre towers in America. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Kingsley), Philippe attempts to execute his mad plan and overcome daunting physical obstacles, betrayals, countless close calls and overwhelming odds to beat the system and execute their mad plan.
