October 2015 Movie Releases (UK) – Based on Books
The Walk – Based on the book "To Reach The Clouds" by Philippe Petit.
To Reach the Clouds
An artist of the air re-creates his six-year plot to pull off an act of incomparable beauty and imagination.
One late-summer day, a feat of unimaginable audacity was perpetrated on the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The year was 1974. A hundred thousand people gathered on the ground to watch in awe as twenty-four-year-old high wire artist Philippe Petit made eight crossings between the all-but-completed towers, a quarter mile above the earth, over the course of nearly an hour.
Petit’s achievement made headlines around the world. Yet few who saw or heard about it realized that it was the fulfilment of a dream he had nurtured for six years, rekindling it each time it was in danger of expiring.
His accomplices were a motley crew of foreigners and Americans, who under Petit’s direction had conspired, connived, laboured, argued, rehearsed, and improvised to make possible an act of unsurpassed aerial artistry.
