J. Robert Oppenheimer a dirigé l'équipe de scientifiques qui a mis au point la bombe atomique. Le parcours de ce physicien de génie, tiraillé entre la nécessité de mettre au point cette arme et ses interrogations éthiques, est raconté notamment à travers des interviews d'experts et du réalisateur Christopher Nolan.

The atomic bomb, the specter of a global nuclear holocaust, and disasters like Fukushima have made nuclear energy synonymous with the darkest nightmares of the modern world. But what if everyone has nuclear power wrong? What if people knew that there are reactors that are self-sustaining and fully controllable and ones that require no waste disposal? What if nuclear power is the only energy source that has the ability to stop climate change?

J. Robert Oppenheimer was a national hero, the brilliant scientist who during WWII led the scientific team that created the atomic bomb. But after the bomb brought the war to an end, in spite of his renown and his enormous achievement, America turned on him - humiliated and cast him aside. The question the film asks is, "Why?"

Our two-hour film highlights the life and career of Dr. Schreiber with respect and clarity. Raemer, his wife Marge, and young daughter Paula would move to the high-desert of New Mexico where he and other brilliant minds would change the world forever.

C’est l’ultime portrait d’une figure complexe : l’autrichienne Hedy Lamarr. Deux vies, l’une officielle : actrice qui fascine le monde par sa beauté et par sa liberté sexuelle scandaleuse, l’une plus secrète, un esprit scientifique insoupçonné qui participa à l’invention d’un système secret de communication dans les années 1940. C’est une invitation contemporaine à redécouvrir l’enfant sauvage partie à la conquête d’Hollywood pour fuir son mari.

An unflinching look at the ongoing debate on violence in movies and its effect on the audience.
