Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie is a 1995 American documentary film directed by Peter Kuran. It is narrated by William Shatner. Using restored archive footage, the film traces the development of nuclear weapons and their testing, from America's Trinity test of 1945 (hence the title) to the first Chinese atomic bomb test in 1964. The film mainly concentrates on the American nuclear program, although some Soviet tests are also shown. Kuran's commentary on the DVD version claims that the DVD replaces some of the original footage with better-quality versions.

The film's publicity claims that much of the American footage is newly declassified and previously unseen. Kuran's research brought him into contact with many of the cameramen who photographed the American tests, leading to the production of another documentary, Atomic Filmmakers, which featured their reminiscences of working on the program.

The film's music is performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, symbolizing the end of the cold war.
