Directed by James Marsh, 'Man on Wire' is a documentary that tells the story of Philippe Petit - a young Frenchman who in 1974 stepped out on a wire suspended between New York's twin towers.

On August 7th 1974, a young Frenchman called Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire suspended between New York's twin towers, then the world's tallest buildings. After an hour dancing on the wire, with no safety net or harness, he was arrested and thrown into an underground prison. Until that moment no one but Petit and his team of accomplices, who had spent months planning their illegal 'coup' (as they referred to it amongst themselves) knew anything about it.
