,” his sweeping look at the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist who helped create the atomic bomb.
And boy did the film look nail-biting, as Oppenheimer creates a bomb with the potential to lead to unbelievable loss of life and destruction. There were scenes of the physicists team engaged in the top-secret work of bomb-making, but the movie also spins forward in time to a point where Russia has developed its atomic technology, triggering suspicions of espionage at Los Alamos. Nolan said that the film’s protagonist made decisions that still reverberate to this day.
The film, which Universal is releasing on July 21, is one of the most ambitious big studio summer releases in years. It’s a season that’s usually reserved for escapist fare and superhero flicks, but “Oppenheimer” grapples with some weighty themes, not to mention, a scientific development that re-shaped the course of history. Oppenheimer guided the Manhattan Project as the head of the Los Alamos Laboratory, before becoming a critic of weapons of mass destruction.
Murphy is a veteran of previous Nolan films such as “Dunkirk,” “Inception” and “Batman Begins” . The ensemble also includes Matt Damon as General Leslie Groves, Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, and Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer’s wife, Katherine. The cast also includes Rami Malek and Florence Pugh.
