Trinity and Beyond

Trinity and Beyond The Atomic Bomb Movie is a 1995 American documentary film directed by Peter Kuran and narrated by William Shatner. Using restored archive footage, the film traces the development of nuclear weapons and their testing, from Americas Trinity test of 1945 hence the title to the first Chinese atomic bomb test in 1964. Kurans commentary on the DVD version claims that the DVD replaces some of the original footage with betterquality versions. There are some short special effects sequences too. The film has also since been released on Bluray.

Footage from a Soviet documentary about the tsar bomba is featured in Trinity and Beyond, where it is referred to as the Russian monster bomb. The movie states that the Tsar Bomba project broke the voluntary moratorium on nuclear tests. In fact Soviets restarted their tests and broke the unilateral voluntary moratorium two months before Tsar Bomba, and since the moratorium was unilateral there was no multilateral legal obstacle earlier the U.S. also declared a one year unilateral moratorium on nuclear tests and as that year expired the US had already announced that it considered itself free to resume testing without further notice but had not resumed tests until the aftermath of Tsar Bomba.
