Every dream begins with a single step.

In Paris, in 1974, Philippe Petit makes a living as a street performer, juggling and walking on wire, much to the disapproval of his father, who doesn't approve of the trade. During one performance, he bites a hard candy thrown to him by a spectator and chips a tooth. While waiting in the dentist's office, he flips through a magazine and finds an image of the Twin Towers in New York. He studies it closely and begins to imagine an seemingly impossible feat: walking on a wire stretched between the two towers. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film follows Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the role of this French tightrope walker, who begins to shape his plan.

Trivia about The Walk

Zemeckis discovered Petit's story through a children's book titled The Man Who Walked Between the Towers, which made him wonder whether the event had actually happened.

At first Zemeckis did not remember the event and doubted it was true, and in his own words, he had somehow overlooked it.

The film was the first to use the TriStar Pictures logo from 2015, according to the studio that distributed the movie.

The release was scheduled for October 2, 2015, but was pushed back a week to October 9 in theaters nationwide.

On a budget of 35 million dollars, the film grossed 10.1 million in North America and 61.2 million worldwide.

Philippe Petit personally trained Joseph Gordon-Levitt to walk on the wire and calculated that he would need eight days to do it alone; the prediction came true.

Principal photography took place in Montreal between May 26 and August 6, 2014, and the wire scenes were filmed on a set roughly 3.7 meters above the ground.

The film won the San Diego Film Critics Society award for Best Visual Effects and the Satellite Award in the same category, and also earned nominations at the Critics' Choice Awards and the Florida Film Critics Circle Awards.
