Man on Wire Ratings & Reviews

  • Charles LondonApril 11, 2025
    The story of an unthinkable feat that truly will never be attempted again... for obvious reasons. Call it audacious, death-defying, mind-boggling, or crazy-as-f***. This documentary "walks" you through the caper that culminates with the epic wire-walk above what is now Ground Zero. Good documentary and the movie, "The Walk" (2015 ) starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is even better.
