CHRISTOPHER NOLAN TELLS THE INCENDIARY STORY OF THE MAN BEHIND THE BOMB“Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.”
Few people have shaped the course of history as dramatically as J. Robert Oppenheimer, and now Christopher Nolan has captured his sometimes inspiring, sometimes chilling story in this epic Atomic Age thriller.
For those who skipped a few too many high school history classes, J. Robert Oppenheimer was the theoretical physicist responsible for the research and development of the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project. In a race with the Nazis to develop this catastrophic new weapon, he led a team of the country’s best scientists to create a means to end WWII – and possibly the rest of the world with it.
OPPENHEIMER is an incendiary pressure cooker of a film constantly ticking down to the possibility of very real world-ending consequences, ones that hang heavy over our heads to this day. Christopher Nolan has delivered yet another stylish, tense, incredibly gripping tale in the vein of his previous WWII thriller, DUNKIRK, slowly ratcheting up the tension before the bomb finally drops. Cillian Murphy portrays Oppenheimer beautifully as a man burdened with terrible purpose, both savior and destroyer in equal measure. He’s supported by a dream team of some of the best talent of our generation (much like the actual Manhattan Project), including Emily Blunt; Oscar® winner Matt Damon; Robert Downey, Jr.; Florence Pugh; Benny Safdie; Josh Hartnett; Oscar® winner Rami Malek; and eight-time Oscar®-nominated actor, writer, and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh,
