Philippe Petit is a young French high-wire artist, passionate about his tightrope dream and determined to find the perfect place to take the walk of his life. Soon he comes across the newly completed World Trade Centre's Twin Towers in New York; imposing edifices standing at more than 400 metres tall, larger than any man-made structures on Earth. After his first visit to the skyscraper rooftops, he knows he must do everything in his power to achieve this impossible dream - even if he risks death or prosecution in doing so. He hires some technically skilled friends who are willing to covertly set up the wire between the buildings and, after a few nervous doubts, injuries and complications with police, he takes the plunge and performs the most memorable high-wire act in history.
'The Walk' is a heart-stopping, stomach-flipping true story drama of Petit's legendary sky venture on August 7th 1974; an event so impressive, he escaped all potential charges for his trespassing. The movie, based on the autobiography 'To Reach The Clouds', has been directed by Oscar winner Robert Zemeckis ('Back to the Future', 'The Polar Express', 'Cast Away') and co-written by Christopher Browne and it is set to be released internationally on October 9th 2015.
