Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)
Oscarwinnaar Paul Newman speelt met een geweldige cast de hoofdrol in Shadowmakers, de krachtige en waargebeurde geschiedenis van de bouw van de eerste atoombommen. Newman speelt Leslie Groves, de ongevoelige generaal die de leiding had over het Manhattan Project. Dwight Schultz vertolkt de rol van de briljante en gevatte wetenschapper J. Robert Oppenheimer, terwijl Bonnie Bedelia, John Cusack, Laura Dern en Natasha Richardson meeslepende bijrollen spelen in deze film van Roland Joffe (The Killing Fields, The Mission), die een van de meest dramatische hoofdstukken van de geschiedenis op intense wijze onthult.
