A war. A bomb. A legacy to grapple with for decades to come.
A tortured scientist and his team work on Project Y in a secret laboratory located in remote New Mexico. What follows: the birth of modern theoretical physics, thousands of lives lost, and a complex legacy. Christopher Nolan's latest dares to ask if the good deeds a man has done before can defend him amidst destruction.
