If you don’t like heights, then you might want to give new film “The Walk” a swerve.
Based on a true story, the film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Sir Ben Kingsley follows French tightrope walker Philipe Petit, who famously planned to walk the nauseating void between the Twin Towers in New York.
If you’ve seen the award-winning documentary Man on Wire, you’ll know it’s a real-life tale of intrigue, deception, cunning and quite breathtaking bravery to pull off this insane (and illegal) stunt atop the World Trade Centre in 1974.
Forest Gump and Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis wanted to capture the true dizzying terror of traversing the gap 1,362ft above New York.
We think he managed it as the stunning 3D visuals became too much for some people.
Reports of guys vomiting in the Alice Tully men's rm post-The Walk: True. Witnessed it/came close. Bad visual trigger for vertigo sufferers.

Vertigo sufferers were actually vomiting in the aisles. Seeing if your stomach can handle it is one reason alone to watch this film.
