HIGH STEEL does for the world of ironworkers - the brave men who scale the beams of skyscrapers hundreds of feet in the air - what THE PERFECT STORM did for deep sea fishing and RIVETHEAD did for assembly line workers. From the early days of steel construction in Chicago, through the great boom years of New York city ironwork, and up through the present, High Steel follows the trajectory of careers inextricably linked to both great accomplishment and catastrophic disaster.
