ENG: “The flawed hero of an ancient tragedy.” The story of Robert Oppenheimer

Episode 7: The Father of the Atomic Bomb. He gave humans a whole new kind of energy, a hundred million times more efficient than burning. A man called the America's Prometheus was experiencing a lifetime of triumph but then the fall came. He became too famous, his views too inconvenient. Although he remained in a prestigious position at Princeton University until his death, the man who had been on the cover of Time magazine several times became a reclusive professor, spending most of the year in his bungalow on an island in the Caribbean. His life story is recounted by historian Alan Carr of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
