Full Plot Details

Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man - Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) - has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photorealistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, The Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film, a PG-rated, all-audience entertainment for moviegoers 8 to 80, unlike anything audiences have seen before, is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the World Trade Center.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by David RooneyHarnessing the wizardry of 3-D IMAX to magnify the sheer transporting wonder, the you-are-there thrill of the experience, the film's payoff more than compensates for a lumbering setup, laden with cloying voiceover narration and strained whimsy.
Kansas City Star - 10/10 by Robert W. ButlerEven if it didn't feature the best 3-D of any film since Avatar, Robert Zemeckis' The Walk would be a winner for its heady blend of gritty reality and lighthearted whimsy, not to mention yet another terrific performance from Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Ex-Press.com - 10/10 by Katherine MonkRobert Zemeckis's computer-generated spectacle about wire-walker Philippe Petit's famous promenade between the Twin Towers lacks any sense of tension because everything about it feels fake.
Cine Premiere - 10/10 by Sergio López AguirreThis level of suspense is rarely achieved in a film. [Full review in Spanish]
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 10/10 by Linda CookOh, how I look up to 'The Walk' as a towering cinematic achievement.
Suburban Journals of St. Louis - 10/10 by Mathew DeKinder'The Walk' is an incredible, joyous movie that absolutely, positively must be seen in a theater. I plan on seeing it again, but this time I'm going to bring a parachute.
Deadline Hollywood Daily - 10/10 by Pete HammondRobert Zemeckis renews your faith in the wonder of movies with this breathtaking film version of Philippe Petit's walk across the twin towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. A thrilling movie experience for everyone.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 10/10 by Calvin WilsonWorking from a script co-written with Christopher Browne, director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”) pulls off a fabulous trick of his own: delivering a mainstream entertainment that has, at its heart, a poetic sensibility.
The Telegraph - 10/10 by Robbie CollinZemeckis turns the event into a kind of blockbuster Cinéma Pur – an almost avant-garde game of composition, movement and perspective, exhilaratingly attuned to form and space. ("Mad Max": Fury Road did the same.) The camerawork is subtle and meticulous, the 3D head-spinningly well-applied.
Newsday - 9/10 by Rafer GuzmanA razzle-dazzle thriller with eye-popping visuals, white-knuckle tension and just the right note of melancholy.
