DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stanley Kubrick United States

Kubrick obsessively explored the collision between military institutions and scientific/technological power in films like Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Full Metal Jacket.

 Christopher Nolan United Kingdom

Nolan repeatedly interrogates how scientific innovation becomes militarized and the moral paradoxes of using advanced physics and technology for warfare in films like Oppenheimer and The Dark Knight trilogy.
