Aroview: An informative (if only really adequate) dramatisation of the Manhattan Project, which produced the A-Bomb in the New Mexico desert during WW2. Never quite meaty enough to grapple with the real intellectual and moral issues it raises, this does benefit from solid performances, especially by Schultz and Newman.
