Man on Wire is a 2008 documentary film directed by James Marsh.

What is more impressive about the happening in 70's was the process he and his friends took to get to the final performance. The creative solutions to make that happen were enabled through collaboration, debates, negotiations, tricks, patience, rigorous measurement and failure in an earlier attempt.
"The beauty of doing this was there was no why.", Philippe Petit
