In case you couldn't tell, I'm not from here. And so, we must go back in time, and across the ocean, because my love affair with these beautiful towers did not begin in New York. So, why attempt the impossible? Why follow your dream? But, I cannot answer this question why, not with words. My dream is to hang a high-wire between those twin towers, and *walk* on it! Of course, uh, this is impossible, not to mention, illegal. These towers, they stir something inside of me, and they inspire in me a dream. Or as everyone in the world will calls them, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Philippe Petit: So, picture with me it's 1974, New York city, and I am in love with two buildings - two towers. For me, to walk on the wire, this is life. Yes of okay, I said it once, or maybe three times, just now. Pourquoi? Why? For what? Why do you walk on the wire? Why do you tempt fate? Why do you risk death. Philippe Petit: "Why?" That is the question people ask me most.
The film, a PG-rated, all-audience entertainment for moviegoers 8 to 80, unlike anything audiences have seen before, is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the World Trade Center. With innovative photorealistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, The Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. 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.
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.
