The dizzying effect – made within a budget of just $35 million – sent some moviegoers rushing to the restroom at the film’s New York Film Festival premiere on Saturday. Armed with an extensive, minute-by-minute lesson plan, Petit swore Gordon-Levitt would be walking unassisted on a wire within a week – and he was.

The “Walk” hits the big screen on September 30, 2015.
