First Pictures "OPERATION CROSSROADS"
The dramatic film history of the atom bomb test at Bikini! Pictures of the actual bomb drop! Blasted ships and the terrible destructive force of the world's fourth atom bomb!
Universal Newsreel, in cooperation with the Army and Navy, presents the motion picture drama--"Operation Crossroads." This film record of the historical event shows in dramatic detail the various phases of the epochal experiment--from takeoff to the awful blast that destroyed or damaged more than half the ships in Bikini Lagoon.
When the Superfortress, "Dave's Dream," drops its destructive missile on the 73-ship flotilla, it culminated many weeks of preparations and scientific research. From photographic planes, from ships and from towers on Bikini, motion picture cameras ground out the gripping story of the bomb explosion and subsequent damage scenes. When you see the appalling damage wrought, you will understand the force of the bomb. Complete results have as yet not been assessed, but from the facts as they now stand, Operation Crossroads, proves to be the film highlight of all time!
