There is of course - there MUST be - some domestic drama in the story. In the UK, too many students think the Holocaust is an amusement park ride and Hitler was a football coach. Substantial numbers think that 'Watergate' took place around 1900 and that they thought the USSR was one of our enemies. Recent polls suggest that students are no long familiar with even the general outlines of the period. I suspect the subtitle - 'The Men, The Mission, The Bomb' - was added to alert younger viewers to the fact that the movie had something to do with a bomb being dropped somewhere.

Serviceable TV movie about the men who dropped the first atomic bomb in warfare in 1945, destroying the Japanese city of Hiroshima and initiating the end of the war.
