Man on Wire [Import]

Import Blu-ray/Region All Pressing. Man on Wire is a spellbinding documentary that chronicles the stunning achievement of one Philippe Petit, a French-born performance artists who walked a hire wire between the south and north towers of the World Trade Center in New York during the '70s. The stunt-six years in the planning-involved meticulous organization and was completely illegal. Not content attempting the death-defying feat once, Petit would complete the walk 110 floors above the streets of Manhattan eight times, only stopping when he was arrested. Directed by British filmmaker James Marsh, Man on Wire celebrates this truly incredible event and sheds light upon the man that made it happen. Score by Michael Nyman.
