Six Hungarian-Jewish emigres fleeing European fascism reshaped mid-century America, and this History Hit film traces how their paths converged. Physicist Leo Szilard drafted the letter that pushed Einstein to warn Roosevelt about atomic weapons, then spent the years after Hiroshima campaigning against the bomb he helped make possible. Edward Teller pushes the science further toward the hydrogen bomb. Director Michael Curtiz brings European sensibility to Hollywood with Casablanca, folding wartime anxieties into a commercial picture, while photographer Robert Capa lands with Allied troops on D-Day and photographs the invasion under fire. The film uses archival photographs, wartime footage, and expert interviews to move between the Manhattan Project's laboratories, Hollywood soundstages, and the Normandy beaches, arguing that these six men, all Hungarian, all displaced by the same forces, ended up fighting totalitarianism through science, image-making, and journalism rather than only through soldiering. Their personal histories, escape routes, and later regrets give the film its through-line as much as any single battle or discovery does.
