Errors in geography: In the closing scene, where Heisenberg walks along the path, a tall tree is visible to his right. The tree is a sequoia, which does not make sense, as sequoia trees only grow in North America, and the film is taking place in Europe.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle

This is well done and thoroughly enjoyable portrayal of the moral hesitation and dissembling that go hand and hand with Heisenberg and his efforts with respect to the bomb. It is well acted with informative and intelligent dialogue that brings two of the leading scientists of the 20th century to life while examining all facets of the issues surrounding Heisenberg's visit to Copenhagen and the consequences of his efforts to develop a bomb for Nazi Germany.
