SINOPSIS:
El 7 de Agosto de 1974, un joven francés llamado Phillippe Petit se paseó por un cable colgado ilegalmente entre las New York's twin towers, then the world's tallest buildings. After an hour dancing on the wire, was arrested and imprisoned psychologically tested before being finally released. After six and a half years dreaming of the towers, Petit spent eight months in New York planning the execution of the coup. Aided by a team of friends and accomplices, Petit was faced with numerous extraordinary challenges: he had to find ways to circumvent security at the World Trade Center, casting the heavy steel cable and equipment. Route the cable between the roofs of two towers, and slack cable anchor to withstand the winds and the swaying motion of buildings. The laying of the cable is made night in complete secrecy. At 7:15 AM, Philippe began to walk along the cable to 1,350 feet above the streets of Manhattan. James Marsh's documentary brings to life the extraordinary adventure of Petit through the testimony of Philip and some of the conspirators who helped him create the unique and magnificent spectacle that became known as "the artistic crime of the century."
