Time Bombs is a 2008 Canadian film directed by Guylaine Maroist and Éric Ruel.
In the spring of 1957, 40 young Canadian soldiers were sent to Nevada on a top secret mission.
These young men did not know they would be used as guinea pigs in the most important nuclear testing program of the Cold War.
With absolutely no knowledge of the effects of radiation, the young men played war games, sometimes less than 1,000 yards (910 m) away from exploding nuclear weapons — bombs as much as four times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
50 years after the tests, Time Bombs follows the Atomic Veterans in their quest for recognition from the government.
