The two aircraft shown in the movie were the B-36 Peacemaker and the B-47 Stratojet. Yeah, the B-47 is the one I remember now. Apparenly that bomber wasn't used for long. Wasn't there also a Delta wing Bomber, The B-70 in development in the 1960s but that project had to be cancelled when that bomber crashed in its first test flight?

I believe you are thinking of the B-58 Hustler. Cool looking, apparently bad flying ...

Hit post too fast. The B-70 was the Valkyrie.
