Sous le plus grand chapiteau du monde

L’histoire

Afin d'équilibrer l'important budget de son cirque gigantesque, Brad Braden engage un trapéziste de renom, le grand Sebastian. Holly, une des artistes de la troupe, qui rêve de devenir la grande vedette du spectacle, doit lui céder sa place sur la piste centrale. Les deux acrobates, qui se produisent en même temps sur deux pistes différentes, rivalisent d'audace tous les soirs pour attirer l'attention du public, allant jusqu'à mettre leur vie en danger. Alors que Holly se laisse tout doucement gagner par l'amour qu'elle éprouve contre son gré pour Sebastian, celui-ci coupe un soir les filets de sécurité et effectue un double saut périlleux...
