The movie follows the real-life story of Philippe Petit, a tightrope walker, who recruits an unlikely group of people to take on the impossible – an illegal high wire walk between the World Trade Center towers.

Armed with little more than bravery and ambition, Petit and his crew overcome an array of daunting obstacles, betrayals, close calls and unbelievable odds in an attempt to beat the system.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the movie also stars Ben Kingsley, Charlotte Le Bon and James Badge Dale.
