He is willing to go as far as he needs to—in this case, to a ledge on the Roosevelt Hotel, 31 stories up.Man on a Ledge is a 2012 thriller film directed by Asger Leth, starring Sam Worthington, Jamie Bell, Elizabeth Banks and Ed Harris.

Air-Vent Passageway: Several. The last one comes with a side order of Claustrophobia for poor Angie.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Lots. In the real world, a person will need to spend at least some time in the courtroom to clear their name. Also, a lot of actions taken by the characters would likely get them shot by police. Though the point of "Being on the Ledge" is that the whole thing is being filmed by the local news, and a lot of police don't want to be on camera doing the shooting. Also, the film outright notes the New York governor issued a pardon - cutting through a lot of court time and red tape.

Camera Spoofing: Of the "Polaroid Punk" variety. Subverted in that the guards never catch on.
