Man's Reckless Pursuit Of Ultimate Power
(Documentary quote referring to the Atomic bomb's detonation) - "Thank god it wasn't a dud!"
And, I ask you - Do 2 wrongs (Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor & America's A-bombing of Hiroshima) make a right?
Well, if you were to have asked "The Father of the Atomic Bomb", Robert Oppenheimer, that very question following all that took place in 1945, he, I'm sure, would have very likely replied back with a flat "No!".
Anyway - In order to fully appreciate this documentary (which is now 35 years old) and comprehend its historical relevance completely, the viewer must first be willing to look beyond its glaring production deficiencies in order to realize the incredible story that it tells just below its surface flaws.... And, as we all know - It's a story that literally changed the very course of man's future, forever.
*Note* - Robert Oppenheimer (born in 1904) died in 1967 from throat cancer. He was 62 at the time.
