Man on a Ledge
You can only push an innocent man so far
Directed by Asger Leth
Produced by Summit Entertainment, di Bonaventura Pictures
A high-concept heist thriller that uses a rooftop suicide threat as misdirection for an elaborate diamond robbery, balancing suspense with clever deception.
An ex-cop turned con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The NYPD dispatch a female police psychologist to talk him down. However, unbeknownst to the police on the scene, the suicide attempt is a cover for the biggest diamond heist ever pulled.
