The Walk

Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man – Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. The Walk is based on the true story of a young dreamer and a band of unlikely recruits who together achieve the impossible.

Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan of high-wire walking between the two World Trade Center towers.

Critic Reviews:

• " Whatever middling, underdeveloped story the initial acts deliver is wiped away and forgotten the instant the protagonist steps out on that wire. " – Brent McKnight

• " It is an exciting film that grips the visual wonder of an incredible feat to make us panic about walking on the emptiness. " – Yasser Medina

• " The finale is gripping. " – Kate Rodger
