Storyline

Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man - Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) - has ever, or will ever, walk 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. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photorealistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, The Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film, a PG-rated, all-audience entertainment for moviegoers 8 to 80, unlike anything audiences have seen before, is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s.

User Reviews

The Walk is a visually gorgeous, terrifically acted, biopic that is bail-bitingly good. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Philippe Petit, a real life man who walked a hang wire between the two towers, extremely well. Often times when an actor has to fake an accent, it comes off as corny, but Gordon-Levitt pulls off the French accent. The entire cast was good, but the movie is a chance for Gordon-Levitt to shine. The film uses a lot of visual effects, and most of them are nearly seamless. It's always great to see New York from far above, but this may be one time it's not as much fun. Zemeckis, and Gordon-Levitt succeed in making you care about this character, so that in the end when he's standing 110 stories up, all you can feel is fear. Granted if you've seen Man on Wire then you already know the story, and the film doesn't offer many surprises, because it's loyal to the truth, but if you haven't you may find yourself biting your nails, and rooting for this guy.
