"Traces the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) from his college days in Europe to his leading position in nuclear research and his assignment as scientific director of the Los Alamos Branch of the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer's colleagues recollect their work in the isolated New Mexico location building the world's first atomic weapon, its detonation at the Trinity site in 1945 and the subsequent bombs dropped on Japan. Includes photographs and film footage only recently declassified. Concludes with Oppenheimer's efforts to limit the spread of bomb technology which led to his dismissal in 1954 and his death in 1967."
"People who worked with J. Robert Oppenheimer discuss the man, his role in the development of the atomic bomb, his fall from grace during the McCarthy era and his desire to see nuclear proliferation controlled."@en
"Summary: On 16th July 1945, the world's first atomic bomb was detonated at Trinity Site in New Mexico. Three weeks later a similar bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, with devastating results. Focussing on the personality of J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967), this film traces the development of the bomb, from the time Oppenheimer was appointed to head the Manhattan Project, up to the aftermath of its use towards the end of World War II. In particular it uses newly declassified government footage, together with the recollections of some of Oppenheimer's distinguished friends and associates at Los Alamos. At the same time it provides an insight into the character of Oppenheimer and recounts his fall from grace during the McCarthy era, when he opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb. Amongst those interviewed are Haakon Chevalier, Nobel Prize-winner Hans Bethe and Frank Oppenheimer. Awards: Academy Award nomination; American Film Festival, New York."
