Man On Wire -- I Must See This

I really want to watch this new documentary about Philippe Petit's 1974 tightrope walk across a cable strung between the two buildings of the World Trade Center. I just happen to read an article online about it. I have to admit, before reading this, I had never even heard about this. Maybe it was because I was born in January of 1974?

I want to know:

>How he and his buddies were able to sneak up to the top of the towers
>How they strung a 450 pound cable across the span in the middle of the night
>How he went about his training by replicating the event in a field in France
>How long he was on the wire
>Why the film was named "Man On Wire" instead of "Man On A Wire" or "Man On The Wire."

From the looks of it you get to see incredible film footage and still photos of his training and the actual walk (including the crowds below).

But there was one oddity I read on Wikipedia. The film, which documents that man's obsession and love of the structure, never mentions its demise.
