Skywalkers: A Love Story

To save their career and relationship, a daredevil couple journey across the globe to climb the world’s last super skyscraper and perform a bold acrobatic stunt on the spire. This immersive, vertiginous nail-biter takes audiences nearly 2,230 feet up in the sky. But to get there, filmmaker Jeff Zimbalist crafts a real-life heist film with actual life-or-death stakes, following its daredevil protagonists every dangerous — and highly illegal — step of the way of their mission. From carefully staking out their target and selecting an ingenious time to make their attempt, to evading security and risking their freedom — not to mention their lives — the Russian rooftoppers bring the viewer along for a wild and breathtaking ride. Just as importantly, the film captures a strong-willed couple as they meet, develop trust in the most harrowing and exhilarating of circumstances, and fall in love in the process. Skywalkers: A Love Story is a riveting, edge-of-your-seat experience about facing your fears and coming out the other side. (Sundance Film Festival)
