Jak připomenul film Oppenheimer, už v té době vědci pracující na vývoji jaderných bomb společně s politiky řešili klíčovou otázku, jak zajistit přežití naší civilizace ve stínu těchto ničivých zbraní. Rovněž otec štěpné jaderné bomby Robert Oppenheimer hledal řešení tohoto problému. Zároveň Andrej Sacharov, který je otcem sovětské termojaderné bomby, zastával názor, že mírové využití jaderné energie je klíčovou otázkou pro zachování demokracie.
