Oppenheimer

Drama189 min

J. Robert Oppenheimer, a gifted and increasingly conflicted physicist, is tapped to lead the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos as the United States races to build the atomic bomb during World War II. Cillian Murphy is Oppenheimer, with Christopher Nolan following the work, pressure, and private turmoil around a weapon that reshapes the century. As wartime secrecy gives way to postwar scrutiny, Robert Downey Jr.’s Lewis Strauss becomes a key figure in the hearings and political battles closing in around Oppenheimer’s legacy.
