A terrible revelation of divine power

The cast of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is outrageous, it's almost as monumental as the length of the film. But three hours is structured so meticulously that it's hardly an issue. Doctor J. Robert Oppenheimer was building a bomb to end all wars. They built a base (Los Alamos) in New Mexico to test this new weapon and called it The Manhattan Project. And it was the greatest scientific gamble in history. We follow Oppenheimer's life from university days to being a war hero and accused of being a hardened communist. And it's mesmerizing.
