About
Alain Robert is on the 88th floor of a skyscraper. Looking down at the city hundreds of feet below, his heart is pounding, and his palms are sweating. It wouldn’t be so bad, except that he’s on the outside of the building, clinging on with his bare hands. But this is no accident, and Robert is no would-be suicide. Dubbed “The Human Spider”, the Frenchman is the most daring climber the world has ever seen. This heart-stopping documentary follows Robert on his quest to “free climb” some of the tallest buildings in the world – no climbing tools, no safety devices, just his bare hands and a pair of climbing shoes. This nail-biting film features stunning archive footage of Robert’s previous climbs – which include the Eiffel Tower, the Centrepoint Tower in Sydney and some of the most famous skyscrapers in the world – plus ambitious new climbs in Berlin, Moscow, Lisbon and the world’s 3rd tallest building in Shanghai.
