Oppenheimer (2023)
Oppenheimer tells the true story of “the father of the atomic bomb”, American scientist J Robert Oppenheimer and how he risked destroying the world in his attempt to save it.
The third biggest box office hit of 2023 globally, Oppenheimer won 7 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for Christopher Nolan (Tenet, Dunkirk, Inception, Interstellar and The Dark Knight trilogy), and over 300 more awards.
Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders, The Dark Knight, Inception) took home the Best Actor Oscar for his starring role as Oppenheimer, and Robert Downey Jr. (aka Sherlock Holmes and Marvel’s Tony Stark) won Best Supporting Actor as Lewis Strauss, with Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place) nominated for Best Actress as biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer.
Oppenheimer has a 93% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with AV Club saying: “It’s Christopher Nolan’s best film so far, a step up to a new level for one of our finest filmmakers, and a movie that burns itself into your brain.”
