http://www.manonwire.com/ On August 7th 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between New York's twin towers, then the world's tallest buildings. After nearly an hour dancing on the wire, he was arrested, taken for psychological evaluation, and brought to jail before he was finally released.
Following six and a half years of dreaming of the towers, Petit spent eight months in New York City 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 a way to bypass the WTC's security; smuggle the heavy steel cable and rigging equipment into the towers; pass the wire between the two rooftops; anchor the wire and tension it to withstand the winds and the swaying of the buildings. The rigging was done by night in complete secrecy. At 7:15 AM, Philippe took his first step on the high wire 1,350 feet above the sidewalks of Manhattan...
James Marsh's documentary brings Petit's extraordinary adventure to life through the testimony of Philippe himself, and some of the co-conspirators who helped him create the unique and magnificent spectacle that became known as "the artistic crime of the century."

This daredevil crap is only annoying. There is no reason for it. If you find it nice or whatever then do it where you wont hurt anyone else or where its legal. And why is it legal btw to risk your life in this way, yeah i know what he did wasent but it is if you do it somewhere else. I mean its illegal for me to not ware a seatbelt in my own car. But these people can climb mount everest or whatever.
it's obvious that you couldn't understand art even if it punched you right in the nose. of course there is no reason for it; but that's the reason why it's so beautiful.
How the hell is this the highest ranked film on rotten tomatoes, and one of the best films of all time? Its about some dickhead who walks across two towers. OWOW GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS
