The biggest heist calls for a daring deception.

Nick Cassidy, un antiguo agente de policía, acaba de escapar de la cárcel y se dirige al Hotel Roosevelt de Nueva York. Se registra en una habitación de una de las plantas más altas y sale a la cornisa. Desde la calle, la gente se reúne y avisa a la policía. Cassidy pide hablar con un negociador concreto, y la tensión crece mientras la multitud observa desde abajo. La película, dirigida por Asger Leth y protagonizada por Sam Worthington, sitúa al espectador en el borde del vacío desde los primeros minutos.

Trivia about Man on a Ledge

El protagonista, Sam Worthington, reconoció en entrevistas que tenía miedo a las alturas, un temor que tuvo que superar durante el rodaje.
En las escenas en las que Nick corre por los costados del hotel, se añadieron pisos extra en postproducción para ahorrar la necesidad de un segundo anclaje.
Para integrar a la multitud, las imágenes se compusieron sobre una alfombra de croma verde colocada bajo la cornisa falsa usada en los planos rodados en estudio.
The film grossed 47.6 million dollars worldwide against a production budget of 42 million.
