Fat Man and Little Boy

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 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 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 that re-creates one of history's most compelling chapters – one that resulted in the mushroom-shaped specter that changed the world forever.
