I have seen a lot of WW-II movies with almost all sorts of stories/plots, but can't find anything on atomic bombing, does anyone know why ?

- PhantomGremlin 11y agoI've seen a number of documentaries about it. Are you asking for a Hollywood movie? I wouldn't want that. When the 2001 film Pearl Harbor came out, one of the quips was something like "World War II disrupts a love triangle". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Harbor_%28film%29#Reception https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Harbor_%28film%29#Recept...

- twoodfin 11y agoThere really is a great movie waiting to be made about the Manhattan Project and its ultimate "success". In the meantime, Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb[1] is both epic and quite readable.

- yareally 11y agoThe BBC Oppenheimer miniseries is probably the best I've watched on it, though it's not just about the atomic bomb in WW2. I've also seen the "Fat Man and Little Boy" film mentioned by another poster. The later was ok, but it's sort of fictionalized and the Oppenheimer series covers the same events far more accurately and at much greater length. BBC also had a documentary series on nuclear weapons and espionage that was pretty good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheimer_(miniseries) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheimer_(miniseries) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Secrets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Secrets
