Man on Wire

August 8th, 2008

Thirty-four years ago this week, Philippe Petit performed one of the most audacious stunts in New York City history. The infamous French daredevil performed on a high wire strung between two towers of the World Trade Center…110 stories about the streets of the Big Apple.

His efforts are documented in a film currently playing, Man on Wire…and Petit can sometimes still be found working his magic on the Big Apple.
