These films are as horrifying as Oppenheimer.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Oppenheimer has reignited interest in the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan, and here are 10 other movies about the horrors of these weapons of mass destruction. The atomic bomb has been the subject of all kinds of films since they were dropped in August 1945, with Japanese cinema, in particular, reminiscing on the tragedy. Oppenheimer is arguably one of the most popular films on the topic, but it is far from the first.
9 A Compassionate Spy One of the more recent entries on this list, Steve James' A Compassionate Spy is a 2022 documentary that tells the story of physicist Theodore Hall. Hall was another one of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project, but unlike Oppenheimer, Hall was actually Soviet spy. Hall leaked information on the development of the bombs to the Soviets, and A Compassionate Spy interestingly takes the stance that this was the correct choice.
6 Threads 1984's Threads isn't about the bombing of Japan, but it does carry on the theme of guaranteed mutual destruction that is built up at the ending of Oppenheimer. Directed by Mick Jackson, Threads follows a group of characters based in Sheffield, England, who, after the bombing of a nearby NATO base, must deal with the fallout of the bomb.
4 The Beginning Or The End 1947's The Beginning or the End is another one of the earliest films about the bombing of Japan, with the American film releasing less than two years after the bombings. The film is another depiction of the creation of the atomic bomb leading up to the attack on Hiroshima, but the development of the film sets it apart from other films about the same topic. J.
