Película sobre el físico J. Robert Oppenheimer y su papel como desarrollador de la bomba atómica. Basada en el libro 'American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer' de Kai Bird y Martin J. Sherwin.

El 16 de julio de 1945 se detona con éxito la primera bomba atómica. Este momento cambió para siempre el devenir de la historia y el de su inventor, J. Robert Oppenheimer. Tras años de investigación, Oppenheimer conseguía, por fin, su objetivo, pero en ese momento de aparente triunfo se dio cuenta de la gravedad de lo que había hecho. Este documental se adentra en la vida del polémico inventor de la bomba atómica, en su genialidad y en el conflicto moral que le supuso su invención. Científicos, historiadores, analistas militares o descendientes de Oppenheimer nos presentan al científico y las consecuencias que tuvo para él la invención de la bomba atómica, un logro que otorgaba a la humanidad el poder de destruirse a sí misma. Más adelante, intentaría enmendar su error advirtiendo por los peligros y luchando por frenar la tendencia del gobierno a la proliferación nuclear, sin éxito.

En plena II Guerra Mundial, el científico Robert Oppenheimer se convierte en el jefe del Proyecto Manhattan, una serie de experimentos militares para construir la primera bomba atómica de la historia, antes de que lo hagan los alemanes. El general Leslie Groves será el encargado de supervisar el trabajo.

Dirigido por Steve James, este documental estrenado en el Festival de Venecia cuenta la fascinante y compleja historia del físico más joven del Proyecto Manhattan y su historia de amor con su esposa. El documental revela un peligroso secreto que yacía en el corazón de su matrimonio: el físico había estado pasando información clasificada sobre la construcción de la bomba atómica a los soviéticos. A través de entrevistas, material de archivo y narraciones, este documental explora las motivaciones del físico, las tensiones de la Guerra Fría y las repercusiones personales y políticas de este acto de espionaje. Un relato íntimo y a la vez global que arroja luz sobre uno de los momentos más críticos de la historia moderna.

Documental que advierte sobre los peligros de la guerra nuclear a través de la historia de J. Robert Oppenheimer, el enigmático físico que dirigió el Proyecto Manhattan para desarrollar la bomba atómica que Estados Unidos lanzó sobre Japón en los últimos días de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A través de extensas entrevistas y material de archivo, el film traza la evolución de Oppenheimer, desde arquitecto de una de las empresas más importantes del siglo XX a opositor declarado de la proliferación nuclear que llegó a lamentar profundamente su papel en la introducción de los peligros de la era atómica.

The Manhattan Project was an enormous undertaking that required the efforts of many of the world's most brilliant intellectuals. Hundreds of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers were needed to design, build, and test the world's first atomic weapon and the Unites States government did everything in its power to lure these individuals to the Manhattan Project. Documentary to include: Interviews with Scientists conducted by the World War II Foundation Interviews with World War II Historians Interviews with WWII veterans Interviews with those who worked with John Gray in the world of Atomic Energy Interviews with authors who have written extensively about the Manhattan Project Interviews with people from the world of academia. This film is personal: One of those assigned to the project was my uncle John Edmund Gray, a University of Rhode Island graduate with a brilliant mind. —Tim Gray

A look behind the scenes of Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer" about an American scientist and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.

The personalities behind the creation of the world's first atomic bomb were as extraordinary, and often as explosive, as the science they were working in. This is the inside-the-barbed-wire story of the men and women who worked on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. Through first-hand accounts and never-before-seen interviews, this documentary looks inside the atomic insiders' hearts and minds, their triumphs and failures, their bravery in the face of paralyzing fear and, ultimately, their war-winning and world-changing accomplishments.

The Moment in Time documents the uncertain days of the beginning of World War II when it was feared the Nazis were developing the atomic bomb. The history of the bomb's development is traced through recollections of those who worked on what was known as "the gadget."

With the Doomsday Clock the closest it's ever been to midnight, Jane Corbin investigates the proliferation of nuclear weapons across the globe. She visits Los Alamos, home to the United States’ nuclear weapons development facility and the historic home of Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project. In Scotland, she reveals the strategy behind Britain’s nuclear deterrent, and speaks to campaigners in Suffolk fighting against US weapons they fear will be based on UK soil. Jane also discovers how many of the global agreements and safeguards that have constrained the spread of nuclear weapons since the 1970s are breaking down. This is a story told by the scientists, investigators and diplomats who set the clock and have fought to ensure that the ultimate deterrent has not been used in over 70 years.
