Product Description
Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man – Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – has ever walked 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. Academy Award-winning director Robert Zemeckis uses advanced technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. THE WALK 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.

A Perfect Film For 3D, And An Exhilarating Must-See Story

- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025Truly an amazing film. It feels like you are up there with him. Not for people with a fear of heights.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020I'll start this review with a fun fact-
The story this is based off of a true story that happened in the 1970s. I'm not sure why I assumed it was more recent than that, but moving on.
Given I know little about the actual story this is based off of my review is about how good the movie is as opposed to how historically accurate it is.
I realize I am bias in saying this because JGL is one of my favorites actors, however, the word that comes to mind in describing his performance in this film is unprecedented. I have always described his style as "ambitious, but tinkering on the edge of naivety," and this role encompasses EXACTLY that.
It's hard not to root for him when be is most confident whilst sympathizing with people that think his goal is too ambitious, and not to mention dangerous.
The concept alone may be enough to draw viewers in, but there's a certain amount of authenticity this film that is easily appreciated; the main characters are introduced in a way that is natural and believable. The pace of this film considering what will be the OBVIOUS climax is perfect and let's the viewers "in" on the process of preparing for it. It isn't rushed or dragged out - it's just right.
My favorite thing about this movie is the incredible character development that is embodied by Levitt's performance. We see a person that is acting arrogant and insisting that the effort needed to complete wire walking is his alone ("Why should I thank my audience? I'm the one walking the wire") transform in to an individual that completely understands what the phrase "team effort" effectively means ("It is because of you all I was able to walk the wire...")
The film score was also one of the greater strengths here, and it goes without saying that the set design was absolutely remarkable. You will mutter "oh my god" a million times under your breath because of how much you may become convinced that you are seeing EXACTLY what Levitt is facing below him during his 'Walk'.
Watch this movie now!!!
You won't regret it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Taken at face value it's a highly entertaining story. But after viewing this I became very curious about this story and started doing a bit of research. I simply couldn't believe that some of the events that this movie portrayed actually occurred. The 2008 documentary "Man On Wire" tells this story through personal accounts of the people involved, including the wire walker himself, Philippe Petit. To my amazement most of the scenes in "The Walk" actually happened in real life. After finding this out I developed an ever greater appreciation for this film, it didn't take as much creative license as I thought it did. If you enjoy this film I strongly urge you to watch "Man On Wire", it's a terrific documentary about this fascinating achievement.
Joseph Gordon Levitt did a terrific job as the completely obsessed Philippe Petit, he simply had to walk between these towers. The rest of the cast did an admirable job as well. But for me the star of this film was the imagery of the twin towers. It's as if they were still standing there and were filmed in HD. Many people say that seeing this in 3D was an incredible experience and I can completely see why. Even the way I saw it without 3D it was stunning and actually an emotional experience. While those towers were on screen, they were for that brief amount of time, real. Congratulations to those that did the visual effects for this film because they are truly spectacular and a wonderful tribute to the memory of these American landmarks.
In summary this movie is part comedy, part caper, and part deadly serious when the finale arrives at 110 stories in the sky. I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it without reservation.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2016I liked this film. I am a Joseph Gordon-Levitt fan, so I was probably going to, but this film is genuinely entertaining apart from the charms of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. When he takes off across that wire, it is stomach lurching, and exciting. It is totally believable and great fun!! I will say, his french accent was only somewhat convincing. And, by the way, VOILA is pronounced VWAH-LAH. Not WAH-LAH. A pretty basic thing, actually. But no matter, the acting was predictably good on JG-L's part and the rest of the ensemble as well. The plot was captivating. The result of solid acting, great CGI, and an engrossing plot was an energizing and uplifting experience. Go for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bella storia vera!
Bellissima la storia vera di questo ragazzo che con una straordinaria forza di volontà impara da solo a camminare sul cavo senza protezioni a grandi altezze, da Notre-Dame fino all'impresa finale delle torri gemelle, e mi sono commosso a vedere il bellissimo World Trade Center ricostruito perfettamente in digitale per il film (lo avevo visitato nel 1991 ed era magnifico). Personalmente non capisco chi rischia la vita, che è molto preziosa, in questo modo come in altri sport super estremi, ma molte persone amano sfidare la morte per vivere (?). Il film rimane comunque molto molto bello!

5.0 out of 5 stars Increíble en 3D
Esta es de esas películas que fueron hechas con el propósito de verlas en 3D, no tiene sentido verla en 2D. Se ve y se escucha increíble.
- Michel PrinceReviewed in Canada on September 15, 2019
4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie about an almost incredible feat.
A film about courage, daring to aim at the almost impossible : crossing the space between the two ill-fated twin towers...... on a steel wire. A true story that happened in 1974.

5.0 out of 5 stars Une 3D qui fait tout son effet
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce film avec son côté autobiographique. Mais ce n'est pas trop sur le film que j'ai envie de m'attarder cette fois-ci, mais sur la 3D.
Vu sur grand écran (avec un vidéo-projecteur 3D), l'effet est saisissant et apporte un énorme plus par rapport à la version 2D. C'est particulièrement plus marquant encore si vous souffrez de vertige. Si c'est le cas et que vous souhaitez vérifier que la 3D amène un plus, c'est LE film à acheter. Mais surtout, regardez-le en 3D d'abord (si vous regardez la version 2D, le fait de connaître la suite de l'histoire peut réduire l'effet lorsque vous le regardez en 3D [nous avons fait le test entre deux personnes qui ont regardé ce film dans les 2 formats différents en premier]) et, autant que possible, regardez-le sur le plus grand écran possible. Si vous souffrez de vertige, vous serez littéralement malade en le voyant tellement l'effet est saisissant. Ce n'est bien sûr pas le but du film, mais il est certain que ces personnes verront une grande différence entre la 3D et la 2D.
Dans tous les cas, le film vaut la peine d'être acheté, donc même sans la 3D, n'hésitez pas !

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein 3D Must-See - Nichts für Leute mit Höhenangst
Ich habe mich gefragt wie die wohl mit den paar Minuten Drahtseilakt einen zweistündigen Film vollbekommen wollen. Die beeindruckenden Ausschnitte aus dem Trailer haben mich neugierig gemacht. Zum Glück. Das Ergebnis ist ein Wow-Effekt nach dem andern. Was Zemeckis hier in 3D auf die Leinwand gezaubert hat spielt in der obersten Liga der Referenz-3D-Filme mit Gravity, Pacific Rim, Hugo Cabret und Avatar. Man muss gesehen haben um zu glauben, was mit der heutigen Technik möglich ist.
Es ist ganz zweifelsfrei auf dem echten World Trade Center während der Bauphase gedreht. Es kann nicht anders sein. Unfassbar. Auch das New York der 70er Jahre ist genau so überzeugend. Und so eine konsequente Umsetzung der 3D Technik sucht seinesgleichen. Man merkt, dass Robert Zemeckis von Anfang an den Film komplett danach ausgerichtet hat, 3D so effektiv wie nur irgendwie möglich einzusetzen. Und da gehören neben der permanenten extremen Tiefenwirkung einige Pop-Out-Effekte dazu, die sich gewaschen haben. Also dass ich tatsächlich zusammenzucke wenn eine Stange in die Kamera fällt, das hätte ich von mir selbst nicht mehr erwartet. Was für ein Schreckmoment.
Dabei fängt der Film ziemlich harmlos an. Die Eröffnungsszene, wo Josh Gordon-Levitt als Philippe Petit zum Publikum sprechend auf der Freiheitsstatue steht und man im Hintergrund die Skyline von Manhattan sieht, ist total flach. Man fragt sich ob das überhaupt 3D ist. Doch das ist wohl ganz bewusst gemacht, denn dann kommt der Cut und ab diesem Moment sind alle Szenen, von denen er erzählt, in einer berauschenden Tiefendarstellung, wie man sie selten sieht. Jedes Objekt in dieser ersten Straßenszene in schwarz-weiß scheint eine eigene Ebene zu haben. Und das ist dann erst der Vorgeschmack auf das, was einen erwartet. Zuerst die noch harmlosen Seiltanzübungen, die schon clever inszeniert sind, sodass wirklich rein gar keine Möglichkeit verschenkt wird, 3D effektiv einzusetzen. Doch das Ganze steigert sich immer weiter. Je wagemutiger Petit wird, desto schwindelerregender wird das auch für den Zuschauer. Also bei mir gibt es das selten, dass ich ein flaues Gefühl bekomme. Dazu muss ich mich normalerweise selbst an so einem Ort befinden und in die Tiefe schauen. Ansonsten bin ich da schmerzfrei. Doch bei The Walk kann ich die Augenblicke schon gar nicht mehr zählen wo ich Adrenalinstöße bekommen habe. In der Schlusszene mit dem titelgebenden, scheinbar nie enden wollenden Spaziergang wird das auf die Spitze getrieben, dass ich mir irgendwann sogar das Ende herbeigesehnt habe, ich konnte es wirklich kaum noch aushalten.
Da Josh Gordon-Levitt schon wieder eine grandiose Leistung als Schauspieler ablegt, leidet man seiner sympathischen Figur mit. Wobei er ja nicht leidet sondern in den Momenten, wo es für den Zuschauer am schwersten auszuhalten ist, glaubhaft glücklich ist. Völlig verrückt. Normalerweise vertrete ich ja den Standpunkt wenn Leute sich unnötigerweise immer und immer wieder in Gefahr begeben und das Schicksal verhöhnen, dass ich relativ wenig Mitleid habe wenn ihnen was zustößt. Levit schafft es aber, dass ich ihm den Triumph gönne und sogar mitfiebere, dass er alles umsetzen kann, egal wie gestört es ist. Nichtsdestotrotz wusste ich ehrlich gesagt nicht wie es ausgeht obwohl es ja eine authentische Geschichte ist. Dass Petit am Anfang und die ganze Zeit seine Geschichte erzählt könnte ja auch er aus dem Jenseits sein. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn, ich habe die ganze Zeit mit dem Absturz gerechnet und war deswegen entsprechend angespannt.
Amazon hat die 3D Blu-ray zum Veröffentlichungstermin für sage und schreibe 16,99€ verkauft. Neben der 3D Version ist der Film auch als 2D Disk enthalten, sowie als Download Option. Bild und Ton sind genau auf dem Niveau, das man von so einer Top Produktion erwartet. Vielleicht wäre das Format 1,85:1 für 3D noch wünschenswert gewesen weil es TV und Leinwand besser ausfüllt. Die Farben sind sehr natürlich ohne nennenswerte Farbfilter, selbst in den Nachtszenen kann man viele Details sehr gut erkennen. Beim Ton gibt es keine nennenswerten Effekte und die Musik nimmt man kaum wahr. Beim Bonusmaterial hat sich Sony nicht sonderlich viel Mühe gegeben. Ein paar geschnittene Szenen und kurze Featurettes sind nicht gerade heutiger Standard. Wie inzwischen üblich bei Sony gibt es kein Wendecover. Den unsinnigen mit FSK Logo bedruckten Schuber hätte man sich sparen können. Also eigentlich hat das Gesamtpaket etliche Mängel, das macht der Film und seine spektakuläre technische Umsetzung locker wett.
