Man on a Ledge is a 2012 American action thriller film directed by Asger Leth, starring Sam Worthington, Jamie Bell, Elizabeth Banks, Edward Burns, Anthony Mackie, Genesis Rodriguez, and Ed Harris. Filming took place in New York City on top of the Roosevelt Hotel. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $47 million against its $42 million budget.
In the film, a man using an alias stages a suicide attempt and asks to speak with a specific police negotiator. He is himself a disgraced police officer who was convicted of a diamond theft, and seeks a way to clear his name. His associates try to prove that the diamond was never stolen, and that the "theft" was part of an insurance fraud scheme by the diamond's owner.
