'Oppenheimer' is generating a lot of anticipation among fans and is set to release in the United States on July 21, 2023. The historical film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer."

Based on the life of nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer who is widely regarded as the 'Father of the nuclear bomb', the film adapts the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin.

With a particular focus on the Trinity Test and the Manhattan Project which led to creation of the atom bomb, the movie also showcases the race against time of the Americans to finish building their bomb before Nazi Germany can complete theirs.

Director Christopher Nolan stated that no CGI whatsoever was used in Oppenheimer. He revealed that his crew opted not to employ any computer-generated imagery even in recreating the historic Trinity test - an essential part of the film. The Trinity test was the first-ever test explosion of a nuclear bomb in the deserts of New Mexico back in 1945.
