RIPON FILM SOCIETY

Man on Wire

Philippe Petit is the Frenchman who in 1974 walked a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Centre.

Using interviews, newsreels, home movies, and reconstructions the film offers a gripping account of the planning and execution of the highwire stunt.

"..riveting" "…life itself (with a little nod to the cinema) wrote this wonderful script".

Please note that there is only one week between this film and the next.
