Oppenheimer is a historical drama film directed by Christopher Nolan and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographical book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy 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 follows 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.
