Description: The Day After Trinity: J. Robert Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb: A Film by Jan Else (CD-ROM VOYAGER 1994) "Perhaps the best film ever made about living intimately with doom of our own design."-Tom Shales, The Washington Post Fifty years ago, on July 16, 1945, the first nuclear weapon exploded into the desert sky af TrinitySite-Alamogordo, New Mexico. Jon Else's Academy Award-nominated documentary is the definitive record of the building of the bomb and a penetrating portrait of J. Robert Oppenheimer, its brilliant and elusive architect.Nobody knew whether the bomb would work at all, or work so well that the atmosphere itself would ignite (the night before, physicist Enrico Fermi was taking bets on the odds of incineratingthe State of New Mexico). With the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the buoyant spirit of the war effort yielded to the grim reality of the Cold War, the McCarthy Era, and the elegiacunraveling of the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Combining rare archival footage with intimate interviews of an extraordinary scientific elite, The Day After Trinity achieves an emotional force and focus, which no other work on the subject even approaches.
