Introduction
"Man on a Ledge" is a 2012 action-thriller film directed by Asger Leth and stars Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Anthony Mackie, and Jamie Bell. The film is centered around an ex-cop, Nick Cassidy, who in a bid to show his innocence, creates a deadly interruption - marching on the edge of a high-rise building, threatening to leap.

Plot
In "Man on a Ledge", Sam Worthington plays the function of Nick Cassidy, an ex-cop who leaves from jail, where he was serving time for stealing a precious diamond from entrepreneur David Englander, claiming he was framed. To show his innocence, Cassidy explore a New York City hotel space and climbs out onto the ledge twenty-one floors up, producing a public spectacle.

Elizabeth Banks plays Lydia Mercer, a cops psychologist, tasked with the job to talk Cassidy down. Unbeknownst to her, Cassidy's apparent suicide attempt is merely a smokescreen for a high-stakes break-in occurring right across the street with his more youthful sibling Joey (Jamie Bell) and Joey's sweetheart, Angie.

Kidnapping and Diamond Theft
While Cassidy produces a public distraction, Joey and Angie execute a fancy plan to break into Englander's safe located in the structure throughout from where Nick is on the ledge. Their objective is to take the diamond, which will prove Nick's innocence if it is discovered, because Englander had formerly claimed that the diamond was lost throughout Nick's theft effort.

On the other hand, Cassidy leverages the crowd, media, and Mercer to purchase time for Joey and Angie's break-in. He also requires that a particular arbitrator, who turns out to be Mercer, pertained to the ledge to talk him down.

Twist and Conclusion
The motion picture reaches its climax when Joey and Angie effectively steal the diamond and hand it over to Cassidy. He reveals it off to the crowd listed below, showing his claims about being framed for a diamond he presumably stole which has now been discovered.

In a last twist, it is exposed that Nick's previous partner in the police force was working with Englander and contributed to framing him for the preliminary crime. With Englander and the corrupt police officer exposed and detained, and the genuine diamond's presence shown, Cassidy is exonerated, finally stepping down from the ledge.

Conclusion
