The story

In 1955, deep inside a hidden bunker in the Nevada desert, Brian and Peggy Bell volunteer for a secret experiment known as Operation Samson. They are exposed to the full shock of a nuclear detonation in an attempt to test new methods of radiation immunity. Against all logic and several annoyed physicists, the couple survives and is briefly hailed as proof that science can do anything if you ignore ethics long enough.
