Assigned to oversee the development of the atomic bomb, Gen. Leslie Groves is a stern military man determined to have the project go according to plan. He selects J. Robert Oppenheimer as the key scientist on the top-secret operation, but the two men clash fiercely on a number of issues. Despite their frequent conflicts, Groves and Oppenheimer ultimately push ahead with two bomb designs — the bigger "Fat Man" and the more streamlined "Little Boy."

"Even if imperfect, a fascinating exploration of the Manhattan Project from the perspective of the project development itself (especially General Groves). Paul Newman’s performance as General Groves stands out, along with John Cusack and Dwight Schultz. A great companion piece to OPPENHEIMER."
