The Core (2005)

Actors: Birger Møller Jensen (editor), Troels II Munk (actor), Benoit Thériault (miscellaneous crew), Robert Fox (writer), Robert Fox (director), David Bateson (actor),

Plot: A personal first person account of how the famous Nobel prize winning physicist Niels Bohr (1885-1962) lost his innocence when experiencing how his formulas were the basis for the Atomic Bomb thrown on Hiroshima in 1945. Though never before seen personal footage from Bohr's Rolex camera, personal photos and beautiful shot 16mm footage from Copenhagen we hear Bohr tell the story of how he took the responsibility when realizing the consequences of his atomic knowledge. It is a close up account based exclusively on Bohr's own words. In the1920s Bohr came to realize that nothing is as it appears on the atomic level. This insight was the beginning of quantum physics and famous discussions with Albert Einstein. The Quantum States brought Bohr to reach for answers in the ancient Indian and Japanese traditions - On one hand gaining knowledge and wisdom on the other leaving death, destruction and desolation in Hiroshima in 1945. After the Second World War, Bohr pleaded for openness between East and West with President Roosevelt and Churchill.. He was not heard. Many experts agree that Bohr was 50 years ahead of his time.

Copenhagen (2002)

Actors: Stephen Rea (actor), Francesca Annis (actress), Daniel Craig (actor), Richard Fell (producer), Dominic Muldowney (composer), James Keast (costume designer), Paul Gibbs (miscellaneous crew), Simon Curtis (producer), Nick Fulton (miscellaneous crew), Gordon Ronald (producer), Kevin Lester (editor), Michael Frayn (writer), Judy Gayton (miscellaneous crew), Eamon Fitzpatrick (producer), Paul B. Gibbs (miscellaneous crew),

Plot: A television adaptation of 'Michael Frayn' (qv)'s celebrated and award-winning stage play about the meeting between physicists 'Niels Bohr' (qv) and 'Werner Heisenberg' (qv) in 1941 Copenhagen. At this time the young Heisenberg was leading a faltering German research program into nuclear energy, while the middle-aged and apparently isolated Bohr was in contact with allied agents, and still held a position of great influence in the nuclear physics research community. After the meeting the two men put different interpretations or impressions of why Heisenberg requested the meeting, and what he hoped to gain from it, a theme which mirrors the ambiguity of the "Copenhagen" interpretation widely used in quantum physics. Did Heisenberg go to the avuncular Bohr to seek his blessing for his role in nuclear research? Why did Heisenberg concentrate on the development of a nuclear reactor, and not perform the calculations which would show that a bomb could be made to work via a fast-neutron reaction in Uranium 235? These and other questions feature in the plot, although unsurprisingly there are few certain answers.

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.
