During the Battle of Britain, I found myself increasingly out of sympathy with the (clears throat) policy of neutrality that Communists advocated. Right after Hitler invaded Russia and we became allies, these Communist sympathies, did they return? No.

Are you saying we'll have to delay? I'm saying it would be prudent. This weather, has it reached the site? (tense music playing) (thunder rumbling) (telephone ringing) Bethe is calling to tell you the implosion test failed. ROBERT: Hello, Hans. Yes, he's here.

You're talking about turning theory into a practical weapons system faster than the Nazis. Who have a 12-month head start. Eighteen. How could you possibly know that? Our fast neutron research took six months. The man they've undoubtedly put in charge will have made that leap instantly. Who do you think they put in charge? Werner Heisenberg. He has the most intuitive understanding of atomic structure I have ever seen. - You know his work? - I know him. Just like I know Walther Bothe, von Weizsäcker, Diebner. In a straight race, the Germans win. - We've got one hope. - Which is? Anti-Semitism. What? Hitler called quantum physics "Jewish science." Said it right to Einstein's face. Our one hope is that Hitler is so... so blinded by hate that he's denied Heisenberg proper resources, because it'll take vast resources. Our nation's best scientists working together. Right now, they're scattered. Which gives us compartmentalization. All minds have to see the whole task to contribute efficiently. Poor security may cost us the race. Inefficiency will. The Germans know more than us anyway. The Russians don't. Remind me, who are we at war with? Somebody with your past doesn't want to be seen downplaying the importance of security from our Communist allies. Point taken. But, no. (scoffs) You don't get to say "no" to me. It's my job to say "no" to you when you're wrong. So you have the job now? Uh, I'm considering it. I'm starting to see where you got your reputation.

Wait, are we saying there's a chance that when we push that button, we destroy the world? Nothing in our research over three years supports that conclusion. Except as the most remote possibility. How remote? Chances are near zero. Near zero? What do you want from theory alone? (scoffs) Zero would be nice.

You must be Oppenheimer. Yes. I hear you want to start a school of quantum theory. I am starting it. Next door. - They put you in there? - I asked for it. Wanted to be close to you experimentalists. Theory will get you only so far, huh? We're building a machine to accelerate electrons. - Magnificent. - Would you like to help? Build it? Oh, no. (chuckles) No, no. But I am working on theories I'd like to test with it. When do you start teaching? I've got my first in an hour. - Seminar? - Pupil. One student? That's it? I'm teaching something no one here has dreamt of. But once people start hearing what you can do with it... There's no going back. (door opens) - Oh. I must have missed the... - Ah. Lo... - Mr. Lomanitz? - Na.

It's been a long road. GROVES: I think one of the wisest things I ever did was when I selected the director of Los Alamos. - (cheering) - (car horns honking) TRUMAN: We have spent more than $2 billion on the greatest scientific gamble in history, and we have won. (cheering)

There is someone that I feel... Does she feel the same way? Sometimes. Not enough.
