Sony Pictures has debuted the four-and-a-half-minute extended IMAX trailer for "The Walk," the 3D biographical drama from director Robert Zemeckis.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as French high-wire artist Philippe Petit in the story of a young dreamer who in 1974 dared the impossible: an illegal wire walk between the Twin Towers of the newly opened World Trade Center. As you can see from the trailer, there’s a heist element to “The Walk,” which follows Petit and his crew as they overcome obstacles, betrayals and close calls to execute their plan.

Opening Oct. 2, “The Walk” also stars Ben Kingsley, Charlotte Le Bon and James Badge Dale.
