Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as "the father of the atomic bomb," and appears to focus on the race to create a weapon that will end WWII. The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book 'American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer' by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.

The stacked cast also includes Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey, Jr, Gary Oldman, Casey Affleck, Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Dane DeHaan, Dylan Arnold, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, Jack Quaid and Matthew Modine.

Oppenheimer is in UK/ROI cinemas from July 21st, 2023.

Nolan is known for his use of the IMAX format in his films, and Oppenheimer sees him deploy the format once again. 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.
