As narrated by Liev Schriber, this historically-themed documentary travels back in time to the early 1950s, when the United States and the Soviet Union began a fierce competition with one another to determine who could construct the largest and deadliest bomb. The results were not simply overwhelming but horrifying, culminating with a March 1, 1954 fifteen megaton test (called "Castle Bravo") that vaporized three coral islands, and the Soviets' detonation of a 50-megaton device called the "Tsar Bomb" that sent shock waves around the world. This program tells the story of the early atomic arms race, making fervent use of archival footage to establish context and evoke the said period. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

This installment in the Secrets of the Dead documentary series takes a look at the mysterious historical structure of Pharaoh Psusennes' tomb - an archaeological site that has been a source of awe and wonder to historians for years. Deconstructing the tomb's hieroglyphs and contents, the program pieces together who Psusennes was, and why he came to be known as the Silver Pharaoh. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was convicted of murdering his wife, and his punishment was execution. Like other victims of capital punishment, DNA and forensic work later revealed that he was entirely innocent of the crime. What makes this case of particular interest is the fact that the Dr.'s execution occurred in 1910. This documentary presents this new evidence in the case, and makes the argument that turn-of-the-century justice may be full of unjustly convicted people like Crippen. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
