Fantastic footage accompanied by some interesting facts and figures. It illustrates the ever increasing power that these tests produced. The musical score adds a memorable atmosphere to the whole production.

I have always been interested in nuclear weapons and this video answers many of my questions. It details the development and testing of nuclear weapons, by the United States and Russia. The movie does lean towards promoting nuclear weapons, to maintain world peace, but it also shows how destructive they are. There is a lot of detailed footage, showing the weapons being detonated (coupled with great background music). I recommend this video for anyone with interest in nuclear weapons or the US Military.

This video shows many nuclear tests that have been declassified by the U.S. government. It takes you through the history of the nuclear warhead, and is both exciting and educational. You are taught how nukes came to be, the effects of the radiation and the damage that nuclear warfare takes on civilization. It was very interesting to see from a first person point of view an unstable nuclear chain reaction taking place! ...

This video provides so much awe and amazement toward the power of nuclear weapons. Anyone can find themselves watching it, jaw-dropped and tense. Along with dramatic sound and excellent footage, you'll watch it more than twice.

With impressive detail and incredible footage, this has to be one of the most exceptional documentaries ever produced on the subject of the atomic bomb.

The newly restored historical footage in this film will have your jaw dropping at the beauty and horror of these nuclear explosions. I only wish it was on DVD!

This is a very comprehensive look at our history with The Bomb. Williams Shatner's voice is almost soothing as your narrator.All while you are shown the most horrific weapons of mass distruction. Recently declassified film from our military shows many perfectly filmed glimpses of their magnitude.It also shows errors in judgement in the early years. Men walking directly into hours old craters. Underwater test where our Navy was too close! Very interesting.

As I began to watch this movie I was fascinated by what I saw. Each test is bigger than the last. It is amazing and horrifying, spectacular, yet sobering. Near the end I began to recall how I felt during the cold war fearing that some lunatic would start a nuclear war (not that it couldn't happen now).The footage is incredible. Shatner's narration is first rate. The music is moving and powerful.
