My dream is to be the most glorious wire walker in history”- Philippe Petit
We have seen dozens step on the moon, but only one man has ever walked between the World Trade Center towers 1350 feet above the ground! Bringing the engaging real life depiction of the wire walk between the Twin Towers, Sony Le PLEX HD brings you the Indian Television Premiere of The Walk on Sunday, November 20, 2016 at 1 PM and 9 PM. Witness the towering achievement with skipped heartbeats and suspended breaths as you wait for the protagonist to safely cross over to the other side.
Directed by Academy Award winning director Robert Zemeckis, The Walk chronicles the courage and belief of 24 year old Philippe Petit played by Joseph Gorden-Levitt along with the legendary actor Ben Kingsley as the worthy mentor. The plot revolves around a young French high-wire artist, whose heart is set on the Twin Towers in US, aspiring to walk the void between the two someday. His unnerving passion leads him to celebrated high wire artist Papa Rudy and beautiful musician Annie. Together, they resolve to accomplish the most illicit yet lyrical piece of performance in history.
A visual spectacle in every sense of the term, The Walk was applauded across the world for outstanding visual effects leaving the audience spellbound. With rigorous lessons from Petit himself, Joseph Gorden-Levitt emerged as an actor of athletic finesse with just 8 days to portray the story of man who believes that art can make you fly.
