Man on Wire

This is a heist film where nothing is stolen—and the villain is someone you'll desperately want to succeed.

In 1974, French street performer Philippe Petit became obsessed with an "impossible" dream: to walk a high wire between the newly built Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. This Oscar-winning documentary unfolds with nail-biting suspense as Petit and his team execute their "artistic crime of the century," culminating in 45 minutes of dancing, lying down, and walking across a wire where one misstep meant death.

A joyful celebration of artistic passion and human audacity—and a poignant reminder of the Twin Towers in their youth, before the world knew their tragic fate.
