Very accurate portrayal of one of the greatest men in U.S. history

I was a nuke aboard a fast attack submarine in the mid-seventies and this movie brought back a lot of memories; good and bad. The Navy's nuclear training program was (and I presume still is) incredibly difficult weeded out a lot of very intelligent men who weren't able to live up to Rickover's standards. As a result, the U. S. Navy nuclear fleet is second to none. As the movie shows, incompetence, finger pointing, whining, etc. Were not tolerated. If you couldn't perform your duties as a nuke then you didn't last long. Our current "leaders" should be required to watch this movie over and over until they understand the message it contains. Barring that, this movie should be required viewing in our schools.

New favorite

Had to watch this while doing research on nuclear energy, and didn't expect to love the film and admire Rickover by the end as much as I did. Tim Blake Nelson is excellent in it, total commitment. One of the better docu-dramas I've seen, and it's so refreshing to watch a modern documentary that's not done the way every other cookie-cutter netflix documentary has decided to uniformly look now.

Better than any Hollywood Movie

I was not expecting a 'Docu-Drama'... (I was hoping for a straight documentary).

But this is pretty close.. there is plenty of real footage of Admiral Rickover, whom I have never met... He resigned a year or 2 before I interviewed with Admiral McKee in Washington DC, to qualify for the Navy Nuclear Power Program.

Luckily, I was Accepted.

I hated the Navy, but I Am Proud to have Served Our Country by keeping Navy Nuclear Power Safe... USS Enterprise (CVN-65)

Admiral Rickover's experience with the US Navy and Beauracracy only vindicates my view that it truly takes a Maverick or iconoclast to buck the system and make things happen in this world, to make things Right.

The Naderites flooded this page with their hate

5.8 hmmmmmmmmm ... why?

Because the anti-progress folks organize to destroy truth. The documentary points out that nuclear power is not evil, as the left would have you believe. And make no mistake, the only reason they want you to believe that is so you will beg them to enslave you with anti-science solutions to all of humanities problems.

Nuclear energy is like a gun ... in the hands of a woman about to be raped, it is a savior ... in the hands of leftists (like Nader, Carter, etc.) it is the extinction of life. You want good things like nuclear energy? Then you have to deplatform or lock-up the evileft. The definition of leftism is the violently insane lust for power. Nuclear energy can be a godsend, the reason people think it isn't, is because our 90% of the world's leaders (aka enslavers) are leftists.
