Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Image Entertainment laserdisc of the film featured an audio commentary by director Roger Spottiswoode and creative consultant Matthew Asner that was not retained on either the Pioneer DVD released in 2000 or the Platinum Disc DVD released in 2005.
- GoofsA comment was made in a conference with Col. Tibbets that changing course over the target from going upwind to downwind; "lowering the airspeed over the target" was not recommended. Airspeed is not a function of prevailing winds even if 1 to 3 times or more than that of the aircraft's speed. Groundspeed is the accurate term. Wind direction and speed has no effect on airspeed which is solely a function of aircraft attitude and power settings only.

Featured review
A quality film
Hiroshima is a great film, originally made for cable, about events leading up to the A-bomb being dropped on Japan. It shows the Japanese perspective very well and is one of the better WW2 films of recent years. Surprisingly, it is mostly a Canadian production that is very accurate with the facts they put on screen. Very well done.
