Dès qu'il a aperçu les tours jumelles en construction dans un magazine, le funambule Philippe Petit a rêvé de poser un fil entre les deux structures et de traverser sur ce dernier. Aidé par sa copine et un ami photographe, Philippe élabore un plan afin de faire de son rêve une réalité. Mais les choses ne sont pas si simples. Personne n'a jamais tenté ce qu'il s'apprête à accomplir. Il étudie donc pendant des semaines les allers et venues des travailleurs de l'immeuble. Le jour venu, il déploie son équipe et se lance dans le vide.

Synopsis:
Twelve men have walked on the moon, but only one man – Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – has ever walked in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. 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. Academy Award®-winning director Robert Zemeckis (Best Director, Forrest Gump, 1994) uses advanced technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. THE WALK 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.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Robert Zemeckis & Christopher Browne, THE WALK was produced by Steve Starkey, Robert Zemeckis and Jack Rapke. Cherylanne Martin, Jacqueline Levine and Ben Waisbren served as executive producers.
