Fat Man and Little Boy

Fat Man and Little Boy (aka Shadow Makers in the UK) is a 1989 film that reenacts the Manhattan Project, the secret Allied endeavor to develop the first nuclear weapons during World War II. It is named after the nuclear weapons known as "Fat Man" and "Little Boy", and also potentially as a reference to the portly Gen. Leslie R. Groves and the lithe Robert Oppenheimer, respectively the military and scientific heads of the project.

Even Bronson

Forget about the front.
You're an engineer.

:02:40

You're gonna fight your war here.

:02:43

Is this what you're assigning me to,
this boondoggle? Dead end?

:02:48

This dead end, Groves, has the
personal backing of the president.

:02:52

This is not what I was promised,
not what I expected.

:02:54
