It's been a while since I watched Wargames but Falkens character was almost certainly based somewhat on Oppenheimer. I think there are parallels between the Falkens belief that war was inevitable and Oppenheimers difficulty in dealing with his treatment after the bombs were dropped. Falken didnt "fit" with Feynman in terms of personality at all.
