Plot Summary
The use of the atomic bomb to end WWII was one of the most controversial events in human history. This Emmy-winning 1989 miniseries brings the conflicts to life in wrenching performances by a stellar cast. Michael Tucker (Tin Men) is Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard, who helped persuade the U.S. government to build the bomb and later had second thoughts; David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck.) is an anguished J. Robert Oppenheimer; Brian Dennehy is no-nonsense General Leslie Groves.

Great story
I found this to be a very nice story showing the development of the first nuclear weapons, used at the end of World War II. However, I swear the opening credits look like they came from a bad VHS copy or something.
