If you've seen the documentary Man on Wire, you're already familiar with the story of Philippe Petit. He's a French high-wire artist who famously walked between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. Though the stunt was completely illegal, all charges were dismissed in exchange for Petit doing a performance for children in Central Park. The new movie, directed by Robert Zemeckis, features Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit.
