Plot

Teenage physicist Ted Hall is unexpectedly enlisted in the Manhattan Project, arriving at Los Alamos without knowledge of the project’s true purpose. Upon discovering the devastating implications of the atomic bomb, he becomes increasingly alarmed by the potential for nuclear catastrophe in the aftermath of the war. Driven by his conscience, Hall makes the daring decision to leak critical information to the Soviet Union, hoping to mitigate the threat he now understands all too well. His actions reflect a profound moral conflict against the backdrop of one of history's most consequential scientific endeavors.
