‘Oppenheimer’
“Oppenheimer” is a historical drama film directed by Nolan and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biopic “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer,” written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.
Set in World War II, the feature film (three hours) follows the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), a theoretical physicist at the University of California and director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project, whose mission was to design and build the first atomic bombs.
The plot accompanies the physicist and a group of other scientists throughout the process of developing the nuclear weapon responsible for the tragedies in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in 1945.
In addition to Cillian Murphy, the cast includes other well-known names. Among them are: Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Gary Oldman, Gustaf Skarsgård and Rami Malek.
The movie hits theaters on July 21 – coincidentally, the same day as “Barbie.” Coincidence that, together with heavy marketing campaigns, has produced many memes.
