Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This extraordinary documentary chronicles Hollywood's Top Secret Film Studio that for over twenty years photographed hundreds of nuclear weapons tests and other classified projects. Their work is among the most spectacular even captured on film.
From the Nevada desert to remote Pacific atolls to outer space, these top secret Filmmakers developed advanced techniques and methods to create their fantastic movies. They made 6,500 films and many were locked away as soon as they were viewed by a handful of government officials.
With the end of the Cold War, the story of the secret film studio hidden away in the Hollywood Hills can be told. It is a story of selfless patriotic dedication to country and outstanding filmmaking that resulted in some of the most stunning images ever recorded.
Many of their most amazing images are featured in this fascinating production. The Atomic Filmmakers created a visual legacy that will be studied for years to come and will serve as an important reference for one of the most dangerous times in world history.

The DVD includes:
Atomic Trailers
Music Soundtrack
Atomic Cinemascope Featurette


5 Atomic Slide Shows including:
Image Collection
Mushroom Gallery
Filmmakers in Action
Rapatronic Images
Secret Studio Tour

5.0 out of 5 stars A Once and a Lifetime Chance, September 12, 2006
This movie introduces you to many of the men who will probably be the only photographers and videographers in history to record nuclear weapons detonations on film. It is fascinating to hear their stories, techniques and even opinions on what they were filming. It is a shocking reminder of reality to hear one of the videographers talk about some of his friends and family that were killed in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings--very powerful and provoking.

This is another high class presentation of incredibly sensitive subject matter during a turbulent time in our nation's (and the world's) history. Peter Kuran produces another top notch docu-drama! Buy this DVD. It is probably more historical, technical and by far, biographical than any of his other projects to date. Low redundancy--fresh material.

Big thumbs up!

Only because of grace,
--Jeffrey

3.0 out of 5 stars 3-1/2 stars, but I would buy Kuran's 3-pack DVD instead, September 3, 2008
By Bus Converter (California) - See all my reviews
This film was interesting but I was expecting more based upon the topic and the item description. I thought my best and most interesting buy from Amazon by the same director (Kuran) was a 3-pack that included Atomic Bomb Movie, Atomic Journeys and Nukes in Space. I bought this single DVD to compliment the 3-pack, but it was a bit of a let down. Get the 3-pack.
