When you think about the highest rated movies in history, there are probably several films that come to mind. The Godfather, Seven Samurai, and Singin’ in the Rain are amongst those that come up in the all-time great conversations, and they all share the fact that they have a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Another film that shares that 100% score is much less well-known than those others, despite the fact that it actually has more positive reviews than any of them.
The 2008 film Man on Wire holds a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 159 reviews being counted towards the score. That’s 159 positive reviews without a single negative reaction in the bunch. That makes it one of the most reviewed perfect Rotten Tomato scores there is.
If you’re not familiar, Man on Wire tells the story of Philippe Petit’s high-wire walk between the World Trade Center towers in 1974. The 2008 film from James Marsh plays out more like a heist than a traditional documentary, as Petit had to pull off the stunt without attracting too much attention from authorities. Marsh mixed rare, behind-the-scenes footage of Petit’s preparations with some reenactments to drive the story forward.
Man on Wire is an unexpected thrill ride, and movie fans now have a great opportunity to check it out on Prime Video. The film is available to stream on Amazon’s service, making it widely accessible for more people to discover.
