Movie: OPPENHEIMER DVD

Sam Waterston stars in this 7-part mini-series on the life of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. In 1945 Oppenheimer was a hero. As director of the Manhattan Project, he led the team which developed the atomic bomb and ended World War II. However, during the McCarthy era, Oppenheimer's misgivings about nuclear warfare brought him into conflict with J. Edgar Hoover. A decade later, he would be awarded the Enrico Fermi prize by President Johnson. This miniseries chronicles his astonishingly swift fall from grace and his controversial redemption. Bonus Features include a 1955 interview with Oppenheimer from Edward R. Murrow's 'See It Now.'
