    Meet Robert Oppenheimer: "The Father Of The Atomic Bomb"
    In 1942, brilliant physicist, Robert Oppenheimer, joined the top-secret "Manhattan Project" team which had set up its headquarters near the isolated town of Lamy, New Mexico (located in the desert wasteland).

    By 1945, Oppenheimer, and his diligent colleagues, had perfected the Atomic bomb. And, yes, it was, then, in retaliation to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor that the US government (inevitably) ordered that this most-destructive weapon of all be dropped directly onto Hiroshima.

    Riddled with guilt over America's horrendous act of mass annihilation, Oppenheimer spent the remainder of his years trying (but to no avail) to somehow undo the wrong he believed he had inadvertently committed as a result of giving birth to the Atomic bomb.

    But, alas - No matter how noble a man's pursuit for the greater good may be, it's what happens later when those of very questionable ethics get to play their hand in this ever-treacherous game of "life".
