What is Oppenheimer about?

Set against the backdrop of World War II, Oppenheimer follows theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer as he leads the United States Manhattan Project in the race to develop the atomic bomb. 

Despite his work being considered groundbreaking by his colleagues, Oppenheimer is plagued with intense moral and ethical conflict as the real-life impact of his invention begins to come to light following the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

The film also features Christopher Nolan’s signature non-linear storytelling timeline, with the film intertwining the perspective of Lewis Strauss during Oppenheimer’s 1954 Atomic Energy Commission hearing.
