The document analyzes the 2008 film "Man on Wire" which tells the true story of Philippe Petit's illegal 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. It uses archival footage and interviews to recreate the elaborate planning and preparation that went into Petit's death-defying stunt, from securing the necessary equipment to scouting the towers themselves. The film highlights both the technical and mental challenges Petit had to overcome to achieve his "artistic crime." It depicts how his accomplishment was as much a psychological triumph over fear and doubt as a physical feat.
