'The story of the extraordinary people who changed our world.'


Doesn't that make anyone sick? They developed a way to murder hundreds of thousands of people, and make a living hell to those affected but not killed. Put the entire World into jeopardy if someone else was crazy enough to use them? They're "extraordinary people"?
Am I reading the tagline wrong? I've not seen the film BTW.

Well, the extraordinary part is debatable however they did change the world, there is no denying that one.

The problem with atomic weapons is, there is no real upside to them. It's hard to argue against the idea that technology has inherent moral properties when looking at nukes. Their primary function is to kill. It's not like these guys created a weapon that accidentally cured cancer or something, so yeah, I kind of agree.
