Bigger Than Barnum's
"The booming pageantry of the show world on parade"
In an effort to boost declining ticket sales and revive lagging business, a ruthless circus manager orders his headline tightrope act to perform their dangerous stunts completely without safety nets. The tightrope troupe consists of Peter Blandin, his son Robert, and a young performer named Juanita Calles. The narrative follows the immense physical danger, interpersonal tension, and dramatic sacrifices the performers face as they risk their lives high above the circus floor to keep the show alive.
Directed by Ralph Ince · Written by J. Grubb Alexander
