J Robert Oppenheimer was one of the most celebrated scientists of his generation. Shy, arrogant and brilliant - he is best known as the man that led the Manhattan Project to spectacular success.
As the years progressed, he also grew into a scientific statesman, leading a government agency (The Atomic Energy Commission) which was trying to develop ways to avoid a nuclear arms race. His attempts at politics, though, were a lot less successful than his scientific endeavours. As he grew more powerful, he started to make serious enemies amongst the establishment, particularly a friend of Truman’s - Lewis Strauss.
This film tells the extraordinary story of the rise and fall of Robert Oppenheimer.
