The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein nature decor playfully celebratory opusThe story of a daring tightrope walk between skyscrapers, as seen in Robert Zemeckis's The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon Levitt. In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit threw a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Center and spent an hour walking, dancing, and performing high wire tricks a quarter mile in the sky.
