In 1945 a portly Robert Oppenheimer diverts the Manhattan Project to engineer the ultimate all-you-can-eat burger whose test will upend civilization itself.
Synopsis
In an alternate 1945 portly genius Robert Oppenheimer redirects the Manhattan Project toward the Whopper Device, a skyscraper burger engineered to end all hunger contests. His team of misfit scientists and military brass race through secret recipes and sauce simulations at Los Alamos while rations tighten and appetites soar. When the Trinity test erupts in a plume of steam and melted cheese Oppenheimer must reckon with the dripping moral cost of his creation. As plates shatter and alliances fracture the project spirals into grotesque excess. Oppenheimer confronts his own expanding waistline and the realization that victory tastes like defeat. The film fuses solemn biopic gravity with slapstick food carnage culminating in a surreal reckoning where one bite could devour the world.
The story
Oppenheimer recruited to lead the secret project is tasked with building the ultimate burger instead of a bomb; he assembles an eccentric team at Los Alamos amid wartime scarcity.
Recipe trials devolve into chaos as rival chefs sabotage prototypes and the team battles ballooning portions and ethical doubts while the test site floods with grease and regret.
The Trinity detonation succeeds beyond measure leaving Oppenheimer to face the wreckage of shattered plates and decide whether to unleash the device or bury it forever.
The cast
Portly physicist whose brilliance is matched only by his insatiable appetite and growing guilt over his edible monster.

Cold open
INT. LOS ALAMOS CAFETERIA - NIGHT A long steel table overflows with half-eaten sandwiches. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER (portly, 40s, sweat-soaked) stands at the head holding a single sesame bun like a sacred relic. OPPENHEIMER Gentlemen, the bomb is yesterday. Tonight we birth the burger. His team stares. GENERAL GROVES (50s, starched) wipes mustard from his mustache. GROVES How many patties, Oppie? OPPENHEIMER Enough to end every appetite on Earth. Detonation at dawn. Extra cheese. A scientist faints into a vat of special sauce. Oppenheimer bites the bun. Steam rises. The lights flicker.
