This crowd pleasing documentary brings the World Trade Center back to life as it appears as a supporting player in Phillipe Petit's tightrope walk as the towers were nearing completion. The principal players are all interviewed as the documentary bounces back and forth between interviews, home videoes, and reenactments of staging what became quite a spectacle high above the towers of New York. Petit is almost like a child as he is giddy recalling his feat. The reenactments almost make it feel like an action movie. One of the stronger documentaries of 2008.
