Starring Cillian Murphy as the aforementioned physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the film tells the story of how he created the world's first atomic bomb, with events stretching from Oppenheimer's time as a student to his 1954 security hearing after the events of the Manhattan Project.

Alongside Murphy, Emily Blunt stars his wife Katherine Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a high ranking member of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and Matt Damon features as Leslie Groves Jr, the director of the Manhattan Project.
