In the remote desert of New Mexico, "The Manhattan Project" is materializing – the World War II effort to build the atomic bomb. Oscar-winner Paul Newman (Hud, Nobody's Fool) stars as General Leslie Groves, the military man in charge of a massive project that will produce two weapons: "Fat Man" and "Little Boy". Dwight Schultz (The Temp, Star Trek: First Contact) is J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant scientist attempting to bring the startling mission to fruition. And Bonnie Bedelia, John Cusack, Laura Dern and Natasha Richardson co-star in this "stunning… profoundly moving" film (Michael Medved, Sneak Previews) that re-creates one of history's most compelling chapters… one that resulted in the mushroom-shaped specter that changed the world forever.

Fat Man & Little Boy Film Synopsis

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."

Fat Man & Little BoyGreat movie, better than I thought it would be - A great story of one of the most important projects of the war and a great leap for humanity, and this movie seems to do the story justice although it's innacurate in places. Except for the innacuracy in some parts, in entertainment I say 5 stars.Score: 5/5

Good historical filmAs a history nut, there are some inaccuracies and dramatizations. However, it is all-around a very entertaining movie that tells you about what went into the Manhattan Project. Fairly accurate portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer, too..Score: 4/5

Apple scam!See you in court Apple. I’ve been telling you for 9 years I know about the secrets you keep from users. Now it’s time you pay up sucker. You’ll be hearing from my attorney very soon.. denying me that five dollar refund for a movie that I purchased twice because your system doesn’t recognize I already purchased the movie… that’s called fraud and false advertising. See you in court Apple!.Score: 1/5

Really good filmI’m willing to believe the directors took creative license. That being said, this is a powerful statement about the human plight to engineer the A-bomb. Very entertaining, and well-suited for those of us who get confused about the difference between uranium and plutonium..Score: 4/5

Deutsch
USA, Herbst 1942. Nach dem japanischen Angriff auf Pearl Harbor wächst in den USA die Angst, dass die Nazis in Europa eine deutsche Superwaffe, eine Atombombe, konstruieren könnten. Führende Atomwissenschaftler in den USA, unter anderem Leó Szilárd, haben theoretisch nachgewiesen, dass die Konstruktion einer derartigen Waffe, die auf der Spaltung von Atomen beruht, physikalisch möglich ist. Präsident Roosevelt trifft die Entscheidung, den Bau einer Atombombe zu forcieren, um den Deutschen zuvorzukommen. Brigadegeneral Groves erhält den militärischen Auftrag, dieses Projekt durchzuführen. Er gibt ihm den Namen „Manhattan-Projekt“ und nimmt Kontakt zu Atomphysiker J. Robert Oppenheimer auf, Professor an der Universität von Berkeley. Groves überzeugt Oppenheimer, die wissenschaftliche Leitung des Manhattan-Projekts zu übernehmen.

U centru radnje je general Leslie Groves (Paul Newman), cinično vojno lice koje nadgleda cijeli projekt. Mozak operacije je briljantni znanstvenik J. Robert Oppenheimer (Dwight Schultz). Usporedno s radom na projektu u kojem znanstvenici polako počinju uviđati potencijal operacije učeći kontrolirati toliku količinu energije, njihovi privatni životu doživljavaju krah. Moralne dileme, razorene obitelji i još brojni problemi muče sudionike projekta koji ne dopušta dekoncentraciju vanjskim čimbenicima. S jedne strane imamo briljantne ali naivne znanstvenike, a s druge državnike gladne goleme moći koju će im projekt donijeti. O posljedicama će se raspravljati kasnije.
