Nah, just the Oscar-winning doc Man on Wire, an edge-of-your-seat nail-biter that rivals any big-budget movie when it comes to high-octane excitement. Chronicling Frenchman Philippe Petit’s 1974 attempt to walk on a wire illegally rigged between New York's twin towers, this is jaw-dropping, mind-blowing stuff.
