A real nuclear explosion?

For the iconic nuclear explosion scene during the Trinity test, Christopher Nolan chose not to use digital effects, but rather real explosives. The director opted for a mixture of propane, gasoline, magnesium and aluminum to create the spectacular visual effect of the explosion.

This decision led to a funny anecdote: When some fans learned that Nolan had used “real explosives,” a rumor spread online that the director detonated a real atomic bomb for filming. Obviously, this rumor was completely false and absurd.

When Nolan caught wind of the rumor, he called it both “flattering” and “scary,” acknowledging the reputation he’s built for his commitment to cinematic realism (like the Boeing for TENET ), while emphasizing the absurdity of the idea.
