Pre-Homeland Security Prank

This story of a bunch of trixy pranksters hacking their way onto the top of the word trade center buildings and stringing all to string up a wire and blow everyone's minds. The heist itself is engaging and the storytellers manage to carefully weave their varying tales together to give a well rounded view of how Philippe Petit ended up dancing on top of the world.

I especially liked that the various moral lessons that may or may not have been learned were toned down and just implied but the aspects of stories which include sex and drugs are told explicitly. I appreciate movies that treat it's audience like adults.

This group must have been filming themselves constantly as there is enough original footage of their planning stages, and their other pranks to make the story flow along.
