As one of the most iconic and recognisable buildings in the world, the Sydney Opera House is a marvel of modern architecture. The performing arts venue overlooks the waters of Sydney Harbour and has been used as a set for some 65 films and television shows. From Mission: Impossible II to Independence Day, Hollywood clearly has a great love of this distinctive structure. Documentary fans will also remember one daring scene in the 2008 film Man on Wire.
