Den 7. August 1974 stod Philippe Petit, en fransk linedanser, 45 minutter på line mellem de to tårne i World Trade Center, i et ulovligt stunt, udført af ham og hans venner. Med interview, arkivfilm og rekreationer fortæller filmen om hvordan de, i nattens ly, bandt kabler mellem tårnene, mens de undgik vagter og politi, for at vove liv og lemmer af rent kunstneriske årsager.
