The story so far
Everything you need before watchingOppenheimer reads the Japanese accounts aloud: people in the street burned in an instant, and those who crawled from the ruins thinking they had been lucky still died from the rays released at the moment of the explosion. Teller begs him to back the Super. He will not. In a farewell to Los Alamos he warns that if atomic weapons join the arsenals of a warring world, people will one day curse this place. The lecture, the refusal, and the prophecy share one breath.
