Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy, is a controversial role in this film. He played an important role in the field of American national security, but his political and moral concepts also caused controversy. This film describes his ambivalence in the process of making an atomic bomb and his moral dilemma in the face of the consequences.
In addition to Oppenheimer's life, the film also shows the historical background at that time, including the situation in Europe during World War II and the political situation at home and abroad in the United States. This film involves many key historical figures, such as American President Truman and British Prime Minister Churchill.
The film was filmed with great care, and the production team did a lot of research and preparation in order to restore historical scenes and make atomic bombs. Some scenes in the film show the shocking scene of the atomic bomb explosion, which makes the audience feel the horror of that era.

Nolan finished the script creation in the summer of 20021. Nolan said that he showed some scenes from Oppenheimer's perspective, which will be presented in color.
He also writes plays in the first person, which is an unusual choice in script writing, occasionally interspersed with some fascinating surreal images to symbolically express Oppenheimer's inner world. The scene centered on Strauss is presented in black and white.
Nolan admits that it is a strange choice to write in the first person in the script. "But it can clearly tell people who have read the script that we will be the audience together with Oppenheimer. We will stand from his point of view, enter his heart and experience everything with him. "
