The Atomic City (1952)
Member Rating:  
The city of the title is Los Alamos, where nuclear physicist Gene Barry lives and works. Terrorists kidnap Barry's son and demand that the physicist turn over the H-bomb formula. It's cat-and-mouse for a while, but when the FBI gets on the case, the criminals haven't got a chance. Outdated almost before its release, The Atomic City is still effective on a purely melodramatic level. There's a particularly tense climax played out along the mountain mesas surrounding Los Alamos. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Surprisingly, a pretty good movie, albeit it seems like a glorified television show, but knowing that, it is worth the time spent. The first 10 minutes lead you to believe it is going to be a 'stinker', but hold on - it keeps getting better. Bottom line - don't go in expecting another 'Gone with the Wind' and you'll enjoy it. The youngster is especially credible, and I usually do NOT like movies where kids are the central character.
