Enrico Fermi (Italian pronunciation: [enˈriko ˈfermi]; 29 September 1901 – 28 November 1954) was an Italian-born, naturalized American physicist particularly known for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1, and for his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. He was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity.
Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, highly accomplished in both theory and experiment. Along with J. Robert Oppenheimer, he is frequently referred to as "the father of the atomic bomb". He also held several patents related to the use of nuclear power.
Several awards, concepts, and institutions are named after Fermi, such as the Enrico Fermi Award, the Enrico Fermi Institute, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, a class of particles called fermions, the synthetic element fermium, and many more.

Plot
In 1939, Hungarian-born physicist, Leo Szilard, advances beyond the recent splitting of the atom -- which was believed to have no practical application -- and discovers the next step in physics that will make atomic energy and a bomb imminently possible. While working at Columbia University, Szilard must convince his colleague, Enrico Fermi, and the Physics Dean, George Pegram, to keep their atomic research secret and protect the world from a technology that could end all human life.

Plot
In real life, Robert Oppenheimer was the scientific head of the Manhattan Project, the secret wartime project in New Mexico where the first atomic bombs were designed and built. General Leslie Groves was in overall command of it. This film reenacts the project with an emphasis on their relationship.

The story of the extraordinary people who changed our world.
Richard Schoenfield: Hey Oppenheimer! Oppenheimer! You oughta stop playing God, 'cause you're no good at it, and the position's taken!
Gen. Leslie R. Groves: Gotta come down out of the clouds gentlemen, and get into the business... of winning the war.
Gen. Leslie R. Groves: It's all about ass, isn't it? Either you kick it... or you lick it.
Gen. Leslie R. Groves: We could give this country the biggest stick in the playground, and I intend to do that.
Gen. Leslie R. Groves: I want three stories. The first, if we succeed. The second, if we fail. The third, if we disintegrate.
Plot
Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard leaves Europe, eventually arriving in the United States. With the help of Einstein, he persuades the government to build an atomic bomb. The project is given to no-nonsense Gen. Leslie Groves who selects physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer to head the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, where the bomb is built. As World War II draws to a close, Szilard has second thoughts about atomic weapons, and policy makers debate how and when to use the bomb.

[before the Trinity test, to Oppenheimer]::Gen. Leslie Groves: Robert - don't you ever worry the war will be over before the bomb is ready to drop?
[University of Chicago December 2 1942 - the first controlled chain reaction in an atomic pile]::Leo Szilard: This day will go down in history as a black mark against mankind.
[after an experiment proving the feasibility of a chain reaction in uranium]::Leo Szilard: The world is headed for trouble. The world is headed for grief.
[reacting to the Trinity test]::J. Robert Oppenheimer: You know the Bhagavad-Gita? "I am become Death, the shatterer of worlds."::Kenneth Bainbridge: Yeah. Now we're all sons of bitches.
Plot
The saga of the Henry family, begun in "The Winds of War" continues as America is attacked by Japan and enters World War II. For Victor Henry, an upwardly mobile naval career sets him in command of a cruiser with sights on selection for the Admiralty. At the same time, however, Victor must struggle with a failing marriage as well as a love affair with the daughter of a prominent British radio news reporter. Victor's son Byron has equal success as a submarine officer, eventually selected to command his own ship, yet all the while must deal with the separation of his wife and son who are held in German custody as enemy alien Jews. Through other such characters as Professor Aaron Jastrow, Naval Pilot Warren Henry, and the noble German General Armin von Roon, "War and Remembrance" unfolds into an all encompassing and fascinating story of the Second World War.

Capt. Victor 'Pug' Henry: [translates for Pamela his Russian comment] I just told him that we were good friends - that's all.::Gen. Yevlenko: You are in Moscow dear lady because HE got you a visa. Henry... nebu durakom. [Laughs uproariously] . Nebu durakom! NEBU DURAKOM! [exits]::Pamela Tudsbury: "Nebu durakom..." Don't be... what? What's "durakom"?::Capt. Victor 'Pug' Henry: "Damned fool".
Adolf Hitler: [Hitler and his generals are under Berlin in the bunker, April 22, 1945] WHAT IS GOING ON? We have been trying to reach the Steiner army since yesterday! My patience is not limitless!::Lt. Gen. Alfred Jodl: The telephone lines, Mein Fuhrer; they keep breaking down.::Adolf Hitler: If I do not hear from Steiner within 15 minutes, somebody will be shot!
Plot
A dramatization of the Manhattan Project, which produced the atomic bomb at the close of World War Two. This series follows the development of the project, from Leo Szilard's first conception of the power within the atom, to the power struggles between J. Robert Oppenheimer, the project's science leader, and General Leslie Groves, the project's military commander.
