About The Walk


As a boy, Philippe Petit dreams of performing daring feats for dazzled crowds. As an adult (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), his life's ambition comes true when he becomes a high-wire artist who stares death in the face with every step. Under the guidance of mentor Papa Rudy, the French daredevil devises a plan to walk on a tightrope attached to the north and south towers of the World Trade Center. With help from his team and against all odds, Petit attempts the seemingly impossible stunt on Aug. 7, 1974.

Jul 26,2023 8:31 am

Train drivers are set to stage a fresh round of strikes in their long running dispute over pay.

The Aslef union has announced a " rolling programme" of walkouts between 2 and 9 December, with different train companies affected on each day.

Drivers will also refuse to work any overtime from 1 to 9 December as part of the industrial action.

Little progress has been made in the 18-month Long Row , with union bosses rejecting a pay offer back in spring.

" Our members have spoken and we know what they think. Every time they vote - and they have voted overwhelmingly - for strike action In Pursuit of a proper pay rise it is a clear rejection of the offer that was made in April, " said Aslef's General Secretary Mick Whelan .

Services are expected to be cancelled and cause disruption on The Strike days and as well as The Walk outs, Aslef members have agreed to refuse to work any overtime from Friday 1 to Saturday 9 December.
