Man on Wire: parents' guide

No violence. Petit is arrested and led away by police after the walk, without force.

Almost none. One detailed guide counted a single mild obscenity; others report no profanity at all.

One short, sped-up reenactment shows Petit and a female fan undressed on a bed after his release, implying sex: bare breasts, bare male buttocks and a very brief, grainy glimpse of full-frontal nudity. No explicit sexual activity is visible.

Cigarette smoking throughout. One of the planners says he smoked marijuana for decades and was high during the planning and the walk itself.

Real suspense about falling from a huge height, with talk of death as a constant risk. The towers' later destruction is never mentioned but may weigh on some viewers.
