A lyrical evocation of Philippe Petit's 1974 tightrope walk between the World Trade Center towers.

A look at the high-wire walk made by Philippe Petit in 1974 between the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York City, and how it is still considered one of history's most artistic crimes.

In 1974 Manhattan, a radical young Irish monk struggles with personal demons while making his home among Bronx prostitutes, a group of mothers shares grief over their lost Vietnam soldier sons, and a young grandmother attempts to prove her worth.

In 1974, Philippe Petit assembled a team to help him achieve his dream of walking between the World Trade Center towers.
