Synopsis

The incredible story of nuclear physicist Ted Hall, who passed nuclear weapons secrets to Russia. In 1944, 18-year-old Ted was recruited for the Manhattan Project. After the detonation of the first atomic bomb, the passionate leftist was concerned that a U.S. monopoly on this powerful weapon could lead to a nuclear catastrophe. So, in October 1944, he began leaking information about the bomb's construction to the Soviet Union. With his wife, Joan, who shared his passion for socialist causes, Hall lived under FBI surveillance for a long time.
