Linked in threads about the demon core and criticality accidents as a dramatic recreation.
A Movieclips excerpt from the 1989 film Fat Man and Little Boy in which John Cusack's character assembles a bomb core and a criticality accident occurs. It is a film dramatization of a real Manhattan Project accident.
A dramatization of the accident was part of the film Fat Man and Little Boy, clip below: [this video] A little more factual dramatization was presented in the TV show Dark Matters titled "Risky Radiation" but I am unable to locate a video clip atm. [link]
