Nominated for an Oscar, this riveting documentary centers on physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the atomic bomb's chief architect -- who later opposed nuclear proliferation. Via interviews and footage from the 1945 tests conducted in New Mexico, the film chronicles the bomb's development and events surrounding the Manhattan Project. Also included is footage of the aftereffects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings that ushered in the nuclear age.
