Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)
Directed by Roland Joffé
Assigned to oversee the development of the atomic bomb, Gen. Leslie Groves is a stern military man determined to have the project go according to plan. He selects J. Robert Oppenheimer as the key scientist on the top-secret operation, but the two men clash fiercely on a number of issues. Despite their frequent conflicts, Groves and Oppenheimer ultimately push ahead with two bomb designs — the bigger "Fat Man" and the more streamlined "Little Boy."

What critics compared Fat Man and Little Boy to
Film historians may recall that Paul Newman previously played Groves in Roland Joffé’s Fat Man and Little Boy (1989), which covered the same ground.
I first remember hearing Oppenheimer's name in my seventh-grade history class when we watched Fat Man and Little Boy, where Dwight Schultz from The A-Team played him.
