Plot

Robert Zemeckis, director of 'Back to the Future', 'Forrest Gump' and 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', takes a leap. 'The Walk' is an adaptation of the memoirs of Philippe Petit, the French tightrope walker who, in 1974, crossed the Twin Towers walk on a rigid wire stretched for the occasion. Petit is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was chosen for the role, reportedly because he was a gymnast in his youth. The film recounts how Petit managed to enter the building, the vicissitudes suffered by him and his friends and cronies, including his mentor Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), to fulfill their dream, totally crazy and spectacular. 'The Walk' takes advantage of the last developments in movie technology to take the audience to the highest point of the Twin Towers and to make them feel the vertigo and the adrenaline that Philippe Petit felt when he put his foot on the wire that made him part of last century's History.
