Description

The film tells the story of the most gigantic traveling circus show on the planet, in which more than two thousand people, actors and assistants, participated simultaneously. The entire grandiose spectacle was located under a huge tension tent in three arenas simultaneously and accommodated thousands of spectators. An unprecedented number of wild animals, decorations and technical equipment were transported throughout America on special trains. In the film, this entire huge team is controlled by one person - a strong and determined guy, Brad Braden. To ensure good receipts, he hires trapeze acrobat Sebastian, giving him the main role in the show, instead of acrobat Holly. From this moment on, a competition begins between them for the title of the best acrobat under the dome of a giant circus.
