Oppenheimer

Christopher Nolan · 2023 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A theoretical physicist with a talent for gathering people is asked to build a town in the New Mexico desert and a weapon before the Germans manage it, and after the war a private security hearing takes his clearance apart in a small room. The two timelines are cut against each other, one in colour and one not. From the biography American Prometheus, which this archive does not hold.
