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."

Surprisingly I didn't enjoy this that much. One addition I liked and this is from the top of my head, [spoiler]The accident with "John Cusack" in real life happened after the 2 bombs were used. In the movie it happens before the test. This gave a greater tension of how dangerous and serious this thing is. [/spoiler]
