| Summary |
Timed to coincide with international media coverage, this film reveals the full story of the race to build the world's biggest bomb, and its astonishing conclusion. The United States led the way, but then left the field clear for the Soviet Union to break all records with the largest man-made blast the planet has ever known, an explosion 4,000 times that of Hiroshima. Incredibly, they filmed the whole thing. Using this remarkable colour footage, first-hand testimony and forensic investigation, the gripping documentary paints a vivid portrait of events spiralling out of control, and uncovers the true extent of their impact |
