Under the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? (unnerving music playing) Under my interpretation (sighs) of the Atomic Energy Act, which did not exist when I hired Dr. Oppenheimer in 1942... I would not clear him today, uh, if I were on the commission. ROBB: Good. Thank you, General. That is all. But I don't think I'd clear any of those guys. That's all.

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.

What the hell were you doing in Chicago? Visiting the Met? - Why? Why? - Well, you can't talk to... Because we have every right... You have just the rights that I give you. No more, no less. We are adults trying to run a project here. This is ridiculous. Tell him. Compartmentalization is the protocol we agreed to.

(intriguing music playing) Uh, Heisenberg sought me out in Copenhagen. It was chilling, my old student working for the Nazis. He told me some things to draw me out. Sustained fission reactions in uranium. That sounds more like a reactor than a bomb. Did he mention gaseous diffusion? He seemed more focused on heavy water. As a moderator? Yes, instead of graphite. - (Teller snorts) - (laughter) What? He took a wrong turn. We're ahead. And with you here to help us, Niels. Sorry, could you... could you give us a moment, gentlemen?

(scoffs) This is one of the most prestigious appointments in the country. Yes, with a great commute. That's why I'm considering it. SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought your attention to his past associations before you appointed him? Yes. And it didn't concern you? Just then, I was entirely consumed with what he must have said to Einstein to sour him on me. (laughter)

The team hasn't slept in two nights. If we stand down, make the bomb safe, we won't be back here for weeks. Then we'll miss Potsdam. I gotta get word to Truman by 7:00. Our window's closing. What is this doing? Raining, blowing, lightning. - For how long, damn it? - It's holdin' strong. It'll break before dawn. - How could you know that? - I know this desert. Storm cools overnight. Just before dawn, the storm breaks. He could be right, but schedule as late as possible. 5:30! Sign your forecast. If you're wrong, I'll hang you. Frank, tell them all, 5:30. - 5:30, 5:30. - MAN: 5:30.
