The movie labors under an enormous handicap: A much better, more intelligent and more exciting film has already been made about this same subject. "Fat Man and Little Boy" is a fiction based on the Manhattan Project, but it is thin and unfocused and hardly even suggests the enormous moral and practical questions that the scientists wrestled with in the New Mexico desert. Germany surrendered before the bomb was finished, but it was used, of course, on Japan, and the shadow cast by its mushroom cloud still hovers over all of us today.
Their endeavor was known as the Manhattan Project, and they were told they were in a race with Germany to build the first doomsday weapon.
