What is “Oppenheimer” about?

Based on the biography “American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, “Oppenheimer” chronicles the invention of the atomic bomb through the eyes of J. Robert Oppenheimer, and an ensuing hearing on Oppenheimer’s security clearance in 1954 that probed his loyalty to the United States.

As is the case with many Christopher Nolan films, “Oppenheimer” switches back and forth between two timelines: the linear story of Oppenheimer’s rise and the creation and execution of the Manhattan project, and the congressional machinations to bury him and his reputation a decade later.

As told through Oppenheimer’s eyes, the film also attempts to capture the internal struggle over monumental leaps forward in science that go hand-in-hand with mass destruction as Oppenheimer considers the future ramifications of his creation.
