This documentary centers on an audacious feat accomplished on August 7, 1974, when a Frenchman named Philippe Petit walked across a cable strung between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. (The film makes no reference to the destruction of the towers in the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.) The cable was 200 feet long and at a height of 1,350 feet above the ground. The stunt was illegal and required months of preparation. Told through archival footage and photos, interviews and reenactments, the story unfolds like a thriller.
