Based on the memoirs written by Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a French tightrope walker who, in 1974, guided by his mentor Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), set himself a challenge never before undertaken: to travel on a cable the space between the Twin Towers in New York
Twelve people have walked on the Moon, but only one man, Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), has crossed the immense void between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Guided by his mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by a group of companions from around the world, Petit overcomes all the obstacles, betrayals, disagreements and countless problems that arise as he conceives and executes his plan. Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis puts the best technology at the service of an emotional story with great characters. EL DESAFÍO is a love letter to Paris and New York in the 70s, but also to the towers of the World Trade Center.
