Documentary Review: Man On Wire

         This thrilling documentary tells the story of Philippe Petit the man who walked from one twin tower to the other on a tight rope.  Philippe pulled this amazing feat off in 1974.  Although the story alone is gripping it is the heist like style in which Philippe's story is told which makes this documentary so fun to watch.  The documentary includes real life stills from Petit's walk, rare footage from the planning process, reenactments and interviews from the real life participants.  Petit's story is so inspiring and amazing to witness we find audiences rooting for his release immediately when he is taken in by New York City police officers.  I would recommend this film to anyone looking for a thrilling and fun documentary.
