Man On Wire

I saw a story on DCist about a new documentary called "Man On Wire". James Marsh "chronicles the story of Phillipe Petit, who in 1974 stunned the world by managing to sneak up to the top of the then-under-construction World Trade Center, string 450 pounds of steel wire across the chasm between the towers, and then spent the better part of an hour walking, dancing, and hopping around on a 3/4 inch cable a quarter of a mile above the concrete and asphalt below." I really want to see this but I think my palms would be sweaty the whole time!

You can check out the trailer here:
