The atomic bomb may seem an unlikely subject for an opera, but director Peter Sellars has always strayed far from the conventional. This documentary follows Sellars and composer John Adams as they embark on their ambitious collaboration, DOCTOR ATOMIC, which tells the story of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and one of mankind's darkest inventions.
Cast:
"Throughout the film Mr. Dyson, its resident scientific expert, effectively translates principles of nuclear physics into layman's language."
