Movies : Drama : VHS Rip : English The dry plot summary from IMDB is below. Bottom line, you won't find this anywhere online and it's tough to get a version to buy. It was made for TV by AT&T back in March of 1989, and despite being a DVD rip, it's VHS quality. Sorry. You will not find a better fictionalized account of the Manhattan Project. This version beat Paul Newman's "Fat Man and Little Boy" by a mile with critical acclaims and an Emmy for best Drama. It is a true 'hail to the geeks', showing the personalities of the men who contributed the science to this incredible logistical nightmare of a project. Leslie Groves is portrayed as being slimmer by Dennehy (yeah, Groves was huge compared to Dennehy) but does a great job showing the relationship between himself, the military logistical desk jockey, and Oppenheimber, the tall slender gentle intellectual physicist. Nowhere else have I seen a portrayal like this of the nuclear pile created at the University of Chicago squash courts. I'm begging- please download and seed. I don't have a system that can support it for too long. IMDB 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 Gen. 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.
Remember, the quality is VHS. This was a made for TV movie in 1989. Don't wait for BluRay on this one, ain't gonna happen. Yet it remains best fictionalized account and heavily awared as a drama on this topic.
PLEASE PLEASE download and seed. I can't do it for long, and when this sucker dies, it is gone forever. I actually broke down and bought it for this purpose.

Thank you! Please edit this presentation and add tag 'atomic bomb' (not divided into to words) so that people may find other films at http://thepiratebay.ee/tag/atomic+bomb
Tags have been updated. Thanks!
Thank you again. Quality is far better than VHS, no reason to make excuses. We should be happy to have access to such old films.
That's great! Thank you for this torrent! I've been searching for it for a long time!! It's by far the most precise drama about the Manhattan Project.
