The sneak peek starts off in black and white, showing a meeting called by U.S. Atomic Energy Commission founder Lewis Strauss in which he and Oppenheimer talk about the Soviet Union testing an atomic bomb and its potential ramifications. Oppenheimer calls the building of the bomb, a race against Nazis.
The preview then enters a flashback in colour, going back to the time when Leslie Groves Jr. who was the director of Manhattan Project created the town of Los Alamos, for creation of the bomb.
Throughout the video, the entire team begins to crack under pressure including Oppenheimer himself, as they deal with the ticking clock as well as pondering over what this one project could to the future of humanity.
However, while still surrounded in doubt, Oppenheimer rallies everyone to complete the project, saying that there is no choice as this one bomb would be even more dangerous in the hands of the Nazis.
The video then cuts to the building of the bomb, and then the Trinity Test where they explode the very first atomic bomb showcasing the very aspects of nuclear fission, as well as the intricacies of the whole detonation without any CGI.
