For over two decades, sculptor Tony Price has lived near Los Alamos National Laboratory, birthplace of the atom bomb, to be near the lab's junkyard. Price calls the yard "a mad scientist's scrapheap," filled with huge piles of exotic materials - rare metals, hemispheric bomb casings, even prototypes of new weapons - which provide both the inspiration and source materials for his "atomic art."

For Tony Price these nuclear scraps are the source materials for his sculptures, as well as a catalyst for his art, which can be described as literally "beating swords into plowshares."

"When the desert winds pick up they vibrate the metal sculptures, giving play to Prices 'nuclear chimes.' It is a sound that the film leaves echoing in the air long after the projector has shut off." - Nuclear Times

"An excellent documentary!" - San Francisco Chronicle

"This is an excellent program that captures the artist, his work, and the statement he is making." - Bill Howie, Library Journal

"Nonstridently and aesthetically reflecting one man's unique expression of opposition to the arms race, this production can address programs on contemporary political and humanitarian issues as well as on art appreciation in public libraries, community and religious groups, art museums, and schools." - Booklist
