Following a dream and making it a reality may be the hardest thing a human being can attain. But on August 7th 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit, walked on an illegally assembled wire across New York's Twin Towers. Shot documentary style with black and white footage to back it up, this film jumps from Philippe Petit's youth to his maturity as an adult.

Philippe Petit was born in Nemours, France in 1949. Although very young, Philippe became deeply attracted to Magic. After rebelling in school and being kicked out, by the late 1960's he had singlehandedly transformed himself in a wire-walker. He taught himself to do an array of different tricks on the wire. Including but not limited to the backward somersault, the front somersault, the unicycle, the bicycle, the chair on the wire, jumping through hoops.
