The unknown true story of one of the key players involved in the Manhattan Project at the end of WWII. Stan Ulam, a Polish- Jewish Mathematician (and skilled card shark) used his talents to make important contributions to the construction of a hydrogen bomb and the earliest exploration of computer technology. The film’s main focus is not scientific, but moral and sociological. Some scientists question the need to continue and are appalled and ashamed when atomic bombs are dropped on Japan. Others are motivated to develop the even more devastating hydrogen bomb. Beautifully made with gorgeous cinematography and a haunting score.
