Personal Synopsis
Anthony Hopkins is stunning in this intriguing story of the ethics of nuclear weaponry. You could imagine the real possibility of scientist questioning their own governments action in developing weapons of catastrophic proportions. This story is intense in its consciousness. Weapons are on such large scales, can produce complete devastation and the exploration of the ethics would do us some good. I was engage in this story to see how the fight against the manufacturing of deadly chemical weapons, would translate in a Department S format.
