Murray, KY – Man On Wire is a look at tightrope walker Philippe Petit's daring, but illegal, high-wire walk between the tops of New York City's World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974. Some consider his achievement "the artistic crime of the century." Todd Hatton speaks with Larry Thomas about this fascinating looking inside a stroll at 13 hundred and fifty feet, playing this weekend at Maiden Alley Cinema in Paducah.
