Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.
The film stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. Oscar® winner Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a founding commissioner of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.
Oppenheimer also stars Oscar® winner Rami Malek and reunites Nolan with eight-time Oscar® nominated actor, writer and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh.
The cast includes Dane DeHaan (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), Dylan Arnold (Halloween franchise), David Krumholtz (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises).
The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan.
Oppenheimer is filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including, for the first time ever, sections in IMAX® black and white analogue photography.
Nolan’s films, including Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, have earned more than $5 billion at the global box office and have been awarded 11 Oscars and 36 nominations, including two Best Picture nominations.

The last 20 seconds or so of this movie might be the best Nolan has ever done. Absolutely fantastic ending.
-
With the strikes going on, this may be the last big budget movie in a while. I’m glad that the industry is (temporarily) going out with a bang, because Oppenheimer is genuinely looking like a once in a lifetime film. The music and cinematography are so eerie and perfect.
-
This film is about to inspire a whole generation of physicists, scientists, engineers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, and more... this is a historic film. It's going down as one of if not thee greatest films ever made. I honestly can't stop thinking about it.
-
"You're the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves... and the world is not prepared" gives chills!
-
Goosebumps. It’s like you know what’s coming, but at the same time you don’t
-
This looks absolutely haunting. That's a feeling I often get from a lot of Christopher Nolan's films. There's this ominousness to certain scenes in many of his films -- namely Inception and Interstellar -- coupled with a really haunting score that resonates with this very eerie and dreamlike and almost ghostly feel. I get the sense that Oppenheimer will have a lot of that, which excites me.
-
Anyone else hearing the nuclear sirens woven into the music already? That's absolute genius from the composer. Christopher Nolan movie soundtracks are always next-level.
-
Saw this film at the opening screening last night. It truly is an absolute masterpiece. Cillian and Robert's performances are exceptional. Nolan's pacing, writing, score, and creativity have created the perfect film.
-
This is a PERFECT trailer. Its the first one that has shown the entire cast, which is INSANE and the first trailer to give us the tone of the movie.
-
How is it that every Christopher Nolan film has a distinctly Nolan score, no matter what composer
-
Objectively one of the best movies I have ever seen. The cinematography, acting, writing, music…just wow. Legit masterpiece
-
Watched it late last night. So glad I got to see it before too many reviews came out everywhere. This movie is excellent. One of the most extraordinary and terrifying films I've ever seen. Give Cillian Murphy the oscar. He inhabits that role. Every department was firing on all cylinders. Even the smaller roles with insanely big name cast all killed it. Just remarkable. Will absolutely rank among Nolan's best. This one will get a lot of awards nominations and wins.
-
You forget sometimes how important the score is for a movie. Whoever put this music together...well done. It really builds the tension and makes me want to see this movie even more. I was planning on seeing it next Sunday but I have no patience so bought a ticket to see it on Thursday. Cannot wait.
-
The cinematography, the acting, the music, the writing, the directing, every aspect of this brilliant film is beyond incredible, if this doesn't win multiple Oscars, I don't know what film will. Nolan has created another spectacular masterpiece.
-
This movie. This cast. The score. The end. Incredible
-
I already watched the movie twice and feel like watching it more and more. It's a story you can't get enough of
-
Ludwig Göransson is the modern heir to Hans Zimmer.
-
These clips have no action, VFX and etc but stills it hits so different
-
And the Academy Award for best picture goes to 🙀
-
Oscar to Cillian Murphy! Finally I’d add.
