On August 7th 1974, French tightrope walker Philippe Petit stepped out on a high wire, illegally rigged between New York's World Trade Center twin towers, then the world's tallest buildings. After nearly an hour of performing on the wire, 1,350 feet above the sidewalks of Manhattan, he was arrested. This fun and spellbinding documentary chronicles Philippe Petit's "highest" achievement.

"Why is this stunt not talked about more often??? After being obsessed with the construction of the Twin Towers, French tightrope walker Philippe Petit spends years meticulously planning an awe-inspiring feat of walking between the World Trade Centers.
Petit exudes a level of badassery and artistic integrity that is awe-inspiring.
4/5 because I wish there was more backstory on his early life and family dynamic. "

"SPOILERS!! (Nudity is shown a couple times) If you want to feel like you're on top of the world and can do anything (or feel like you have superpowers)? This piece of history will aspire to inspire you! I have a bad fear of heights but somehow this doc made me feel secure and....balanced? Hehe. Highly recommend!! #Academy #Award #winner"

"This was an amazing documentary. Not only was the actual tight wire act incredible but the effort to pull it off ( they had to do this without permission) was quite a story. "
