Secrets of the Dead: The World's Biggest Bomb 2011

    During the 1950’s, American and Soviet scientists were in a race to see who could build and detonate the world’s largest bomb.  There was a lot both groups did not know about this process.  Many American bombs were exploded on the remote Bikini Atoll.   The inhabitants were moved to another island location.  America’s biggest bomb had many more megatons of power than estimated and the blast vaporized three coral islands.  The scientist building the biggest bomb for the Soviet’s had only three months to build the bomb and he reduced the amount of power produced.

    This is good, I remember films of the early detonations of nuclear bombs and the people viewing were asked to wear dark glasses!!  Nuclear energy was an unknown in these early days and many mistakes were made!!  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
