🇺🇸 United States · 35.8911, -106.2978

Los Alamos is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

“Pre-production had begun by January 2022 in New Mexico, where a two-day casting call took place in Santa Fe and Los Alamos for people to audition to play local residents, military personnel, and scientists.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Los Alamos as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • Oppenheimer 2023
  • Twins 1988
    “Locations and backgrounds included the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge near Taos, the San Francisco de Asis Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos, St. Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe and buildings in Los Alamos.” Wikipedia
  • Silkwood 1983
    “The film was shot on location in Albuquerque and Los Alamos in New Mexico, and Dallas, Howe, Texas City, and Tom Bean in Texas from September 7 to November 26, 1982.” Wikipedia

Named here by Los Alamos’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Los Alamos, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
