"Man
on a Ledge"
In the heart-pounding thriller 'Man on a Ledge,' Nick Cassidy
(Sam Worthington) makes a desperate and life-threatening move
to prove his innocence after he is framed for the theft of
a rare, prized diamond by a greedy mogul (Ed Harris). Recently
escaped from prison, and with a plan to exhonerate himself,
Nick climbs onto the ledge of a towering skyscraper, inviting
the eyes of New York City to anxiously watch as one wrong
step could mean plunging to his death. But as police negotiator
psychologist Lydia Mercer (Elizabeth Banks) soon learns, Nick's
daredevil stunt, captivating the eyes of the public and media,
masks a dangerous ploy to reveal the truth about his tarnished
name. With the help of his brother and with time running out,
Nick's intricate plan must work perfectly, but when you're
on the 25th floor ledge of a building, going down takes on
an entirely more hair-raising meaning.
