Man on Wire
The Man on Wire was an incredible documentary about a man named Philippe Petit attempting to a do high wire routine between the world trade towers. The process he went through before putting the wire between the twin tours was long however, he had a great support of friends who helped him succeed in his dream. It took him a lot of practice and planning out to finally get the chance to walk the wire. Philippe had to accomplish having an inside man who worked in the world trade tours. His inside man was a man named Barry and his office was at the highest occupied floor. This helped him because he had to be able to know what happens in the towers like clock work, in order to get his team and the equipment up to the roof without be caught. While planning this, there were a few times they would get to the roof and a guard would come upstairs. They would have to hide for hours in order to not get caught. Philippe's support team helped a lot and took many trips to America to finally get the plan to go straight through and when it did it was beautiful. He showed how passionate he was to achieve being the first man to wire walk across the twin towers.
