Man On Wire - Trailer

Watch the trailer for Man On The Wire.

Philippe Petit has quite a history, on August 7th 1974 Petit walked a tightrope between the twin towers. The idea was planned meticulously, after all they the team of people were going to have to break into both buildings, get fake ID cards, sneak in the equipment, make sure the wire could withstand the wind and swaying of the buildings, all this would have to be done under the cover of night.

When the morning came along the people of New York couldn't believe what they were seeing. A man with no harness or safety net walking between the worlds (then) tallest buildings. After an hour on the wire, Petit was put in prison.
