In the remote desert of New Mexico, 'The Manhattan Project' is materializing - the World War II effort to build the atomic bomb. Oscar Winner Paul Newman stars as General Leslie Groves, the military man in charge of a massive project that will produce two weapons: 'Fat Man' and 'Little Boy'. Dwight Schultz is J Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant scientist attempting to bring the startling mission to fruition. And Bonnie Bedelia, John Cusack, Laura Dern and Natasha Richardson co-star in this 'stunning...profoundly moving' film (Michael Medved, Sneak Previews) that recreates one of history's most compelling chapters...one that resulted in the mushroom-shaped specter that changed the world forever.
