One day back in 1974 thousands of New Yorkers stared up at the Twin Towers in shock and horror. No, I'm not confused, I'm just referring to the day that Phillip Petit attempted a high-wire walk between the top floors Trade Center towers. "Man on Wire" is a documentary chronicling Petit and the various tight-ropes walked and laws broken during his career (including one involving the Sydney Harbour Bridge). Directed by film maker James Marsh, the hair-raising documentary debuted earlier this year at Sundance - where it one the Grand Jury prize.  "Man on wire" is due in Australian cinemas later this year.
