Continuation and conclusion of this Hollywood diptych, in which Buck Danny and his two sidekicks are given a hard time by a spy willing to do anything, especially the worst, to get his hands on a fearsome atomic weapon…
In “The Red Shadow”, set in 1947, Buck and his pals Tumbler and Tuckson, invited to play World War II pilots on a film set, were up against a spy. The spy’s objective: to steal the plans for a brand-new atomic weapon.
In “Atomic City”, the three pilots have to deal with him again, except this time the spy in question has an idea as perverse as it is innovative… He kidnaps Buck’s own brother to force Buck to carry out a raid on the Los Alamos site, also known as “Atomic City”, where the very atomic weapon he coveted in “The Red Shadow” is located. If he can’t get his hands on it, he might as well destroy the atomic weapon in question and kill thousands of people in the vicinity, including the film crew… A race against time begins to prevent disaster.
