Everyone has a dream. Philippe Petit's was simple: he wanted to walk a wire strung between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre. Filled with jaw-dropping footage of NYC and paced like a 70s heist film, this thrilling, celebratory film takes you to the dizzy heights of Petit's scheme and reveals the vivid personalities that conspired to make it happen.
We hope that director James Marsh will introduce the film
