Three Two One - Zero!
The voice of an officer counts out the last tense seconds- 'Three Two One - Zero!' - and another atomic explosion rends the stillness. This film, made in America by the National Broadcasting Company, tells the story of atomic energy and discusses the problem that now confronts the world: "It is the people... who must come to know what atomic energy can and will do, for good and evil... The real problem does not rest in scientific mechanisms, but rather it rests in the minds and hearts of men".

It's been only three weeks since the first successful test of the atomic bomb when the "Enola Gay" travels to Japan to drop a payload that will end WWII. Whilst the families of the continental USA are celebrating a reduction in ration restrictions and watching the US PGA come to it's conclusion, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are reduced to rubble with virtually nothing left upstanding - structural, man nor beast. The imagery is ghastly, ruined, desperate and coupled with those similar pictures from a war-torn and defeated Nazi Germany, Alexander Scourby narrates a story of man's historical obsession with power, science and wealth - dating back to the ancient Greeks, using a mixture of especially written dialogue and quotations from a variety of spiritual texts that gradually turn magic into fact.
