Perhaps "Chernobyl" and "Fat Man and Little Boy" (on the Manhattan project).
- Vaslo 6y agoCame here to recommend Fat Man - a little overacting in it but still a really good movie without overwhelming the non scientific folks
- js8 6y agoThere is also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_One_(1989_film) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_One_(1989_film), which I like better. I also really enjoyed Einstein & Eddington (from the list) for some reason.
- cfallin 6y agoFor anyone looking for a documentary on the Manhattan Project, I'd highly highly recommend The Day After Trinity, a documentary by Jon Else with a bunch of interviews of the original participants (it was made in 1980). Really fantastic look at the personalities behind all the science.
