Synopsis

Spoiler shield

We've all heard of the atomic bomb, but in the late 1950s, an idea was conceived of a bomb which would maximize damage to people, but minimize damage to buildings and vital infrastructure: perfect for an occupying army. This is the story of a man and his bomb: a melding of world events and scientific discovery inspire the neutron bomb, one of the most hated nuclear weapons ever invented.

Part of

The Atomic Bomb Collection

This is it - the complete set of 5 Atomic Bomb videos: Trinity & Beyond, Nukes in Space, Atomic Journeys, Nuclear 911, and Atomic Filmmakers. Director/producer Peter Kuran meticulously restored previously classified government footage of U.S. atomic bomb tests using a new, Academy Award winning process known as RCI. The result is this selection of DVDs.
