Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard leaves Europe, eventually arriving in the United States. With the help of Einstein, he persuades the government to build an atomic bomb. The project is given to no-nonsense General Leslie Groves who selects physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer to head the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, where the bomb is built. As World War II draws to a close, Szilard has second thoughts about atomic weapons, and policy makers debate how and when to use the bomb.

"As World War II rages across Europe, Colonel Leslie Groves assumes command over the Manhattan Project, an ultra-top-secret program to develop the ultimate weapon of mass destruction: a nuclear bomb. Under the brilliant but turbulent leadership of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the project generates a two-year storm of intrigue, rivalry, disappointment and triumph. In desperate competition withthe Nazi A-bomb program, America's most brilliant minds struggle to unleash a force that can save the world ... or ignite an atomic armageddon."@en
