The extraordinary true story of Philippe Petit's death-defying high-wire walk between the newly-built Twin Towers. One night in 1974, a young Frenchman secretly - and illegally - rigged a tightrope between the twin towers of the World Trade Centre. At day-break, he gave the high-wire performance of all time, making eight crossings, as a hundred thousand people watched. In To Reach the Clouds, Philippe Petit re-creates a six-year quest to realize his dream. Animated by never-before-seen photographs and Petit's ingenious sketches, To Reach the Clouds is a tour-de force of the imagination and a serenade to his beloved towers.
