This movie is about the supreme intellect and the conscience of the leading creator and the team he led behind the atomic bomb in W.W.2. Known as 'the Manhattan Project'. The project cost 2 Billion dollars. That's when this amount was a big number! As far as I can see, the explanations about nuclear physics are both in the public domain and accurate. This man had a shaky start in the academic study of nuclear physics, but his insight was developing. He travelled to Europe widely and back to the U.S.A. In pursuance of his studies. He also spoke several languages. And used these languages to teach complex physics! The collision of accelerating the development of how to crack fission, and the rabid post-war 'red menace witch hunt'' investigations. This coupled with his guilt about killing so many people, showed his deepest conscience of his responsibility to the project. The sections of pre-war, wartime, and post-war are shuffled together within politics and morality spins for a structured exploration of these situations. The film flows well and it seems a shorter movie than it is. It's a movie you need to see more than once to get a grasp of its tale.
