I like quantum physics. I like what's implied in the uncertainty principle. This TV adaptation of a play is very nicely done. It uses the quantum theories, the history, the uncertainty of a meeting between leading figures, etc and tells a story quite remarkably. I thought it would be a boring documentary. It is anything, but! Using just three actors and the inherent uncertainty in the story and the subject matter, it takes the viewer through a nice historical journey. Very well done. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in particle physics, WWII and the atom bomb. My Rating: 7.5
