Oppenheimer (1980) - Biography of the American physicist who led the U.S. effort to develop the atomic bomb during World War II, only to find himself suspected as a security risk in the 1950s because of his increasing ambivalence about the effect of his life's work.

Copenhagen (2002) - the meeting between physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in 1941 Copenhagen.

Breaking The Chain (2009) - In 1939, physicist Leo Szilard must convince his colleagues at Columbia University to keep their nuclear research secret and protect the world from atomic weapons.

Manh(a)ttan about a family living at Los Alamos circa 1943. Only Oppenheimer appears in three episodes in first season according to IMDB. Trailer looks interesting.

I do not get this network where I live so I will have to catch it on dvd or something. If you see it, please let me know if it is interesting.

 

You forgot Shadowmakers with Paul Newman iirc.

 

Shadow Makers is called "Fat Man and Little Boy" in North America. Where are you from phylo? What did you think of it as compared to some of the others?
