We used to stay in Los Alamos during the summers when he worked there and went to Trinity site back in the 80's. I recently took a historical tour of Santa Fe and the fellow showed us the house where all the scientists would come to when they were brought to Los Alamos. He said there were US spies set up in the building across the street.

This is the house they would check into according to him and there was some lady who checked them in:

The spies were set up in this building: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6874371,-105.9372551,3a,75y,168.69h,102.61t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sr9bnTlHON55Yo4ny9S0PQA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

I've been looking forward to this movie because I am so familiar with so much of the history and places in the film.

Editing as I found this which covers what the tour guide said above: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200128-an-atomic-marker-hidden-in-plain-sight#:~:text=Most%20didn't%20know%20where,to%20build%20the%20atomic%20bomb.
