The first full, official trailer for Oppenheimer is here from Christopher Nolan, focusing entirely on the atom bomb and Cillian Murphy.

[dead-eyed quote](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb13ynu3Iac) about his thoughts on the creation of it. The film has been buzzed about since well before it was even an idea in Nolan’s brain, and the studio [was literally counting down to it a year before its release date](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/oppenheimer-trailer-is-playing-on-loop-counting-down-to-the-end-with-christopher-nolan/), an almost unheard-of length of time for promotion to star on that scale. As the title suggests, Oppenheimer is about J.

Cillian Murphy stars in Oppenheimer alongside Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, and more.

“Students of American history will now be able to read the last chapter and see that what was done to Oppenheimer in that kangaroo court proceeding was not the last word.” The atomic bomb creator was accused of spying on behalf of the Soviets, undergoing a “kangaroo court” trial which ended in him losing access to his atomic bomb research and effectively ending his career. The injustice done to Oppenheimer doesn’t get undone by this. “I think recreating the Trinity test [the first nuclear weapon detonation ever] without the use of computer graphics was a huge challenge to take on,” Nolan recently said. The central visual effect was not created in a digital graphics lab, but instead uses practical effects to “Theory will only take you so far.”
