    I didn't realize there was a film about him based on the book
    Takedown. The book was fascinating. However, I seem to
    remember Mitnick claiming that not everything in the film was
    factual, and the book author gives too much credit to himself
    "capturing" Mitnick. The way I remember the story, Mitnick
    allowed himself to be found.
