On August 7th 1974, a young Frenchman called Philippe Petit illegally stepped out on to a wire suspended between New York's twin towers, then the world's tallest building.

Petit spent an hour dancing on the wire with no safety net or harness until he was arrested and thrown into an underground prison. Until that moment no one but Petit, and his team of eight accomplices, knew anything about it.

Petit's team would have to find a way to bypass the WTC's security; to smuggle the wire and rigging equipment into the towers; to suspend the wire between the two towers; to secure the wire at the correct tension to withstand the winds and the swaying of the buildings; to rig it secretly by night - all without being caught. Not to mention the walk itself...

Directed by James Marsh (The King, Wisconsin Death Trip), Man on Wire brings Petit's extraordinary adventure to life through the testimony of all the co-conspirators who created the single, beautiful spectacle that became known as "the artistic crime of the century".

Man On Wire will be in cinemas from August 1.
