Man on Wire is a charming film about Philippe Petit and his team of determined pranksters who managed to rig a wire between the two towers of the World Trade Center which allowed Phillippe to wire-walk between the towers for 45 minutes before police ended the act by threatening to fly a helicopter at him and pull him off the wire. It's a heist film, a caper, or in the words of the team "le coup"!
We saw it Sunday at Cinema Paradisio in Northbridge, an old cinema house, in a very intimate theatre (sits around 100) with a small-ish screen covered by a curtain that opens when the feature begins. So nostalgic!
Man of Wire is now out on dvd so if you have a large screen TV, we recommend it!
