This ultimately led to the 1954 security hearing, where Oppenheimer’s past was used to remove his political influence after he advised against further nuclear research.

„Oppenheimer“ shines with its thrilling script, outstanding performances by all the actors, but especially Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., and of course with its visuals, where Nolan once again excels. This movie will not only blow you away visually, it will also keep you on the edge of your seat with its story. A must see for all Nolan fans and those who want to experience the full „Barbenheimer“ phenomenon!
