It then goes on to describe the atom and the race to build the atomic bomb during WWII using (somewhat clunky) re-enactments. The film ends with a discussion of the dangers of atomic weapons, including the formation of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists by Albert Einstein, intending to educate the American public about the destructive power of the bomb.
