What happened here

Fuller Lodge appears as itself — the social centre of the wartime laboratory town, and the building where the scientists gathered.

Trivia

The lodge predates the Manhattan Project by fifteen years; it was the dining hall of the Los Alamos Ranch School.

What happened here

Production shot on location in Los Alamos, New Mexico (alongside Albuquerque and sites in Texas) between September and November 1982 to stand in for the film's nuclear-plant setting; Fuller Lodge, the town's best-known historic public building, anchors the Los Alamos townscape used in and around the shoot.
