The Bomb

A spiral of smoke produced by a firey rocket above a large body of water.

The Bomb is a critically acclaimed documentary film that puts viewers at the center of the story of nuclear weapons. It explores their immense power, their perverse allure, and the profound death wish at their very heart. Combining archival footage, animation, music, and text, The Bomb offers a visceral and unsettling experience, taking audiences inside the complex cultural and technological realm of nuclear weapons.
