Oppenheimer: The Official Screenplay (Paperback)

**Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture** The complete screenplay of Christopher Nolan s Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer centers on the life of the father of the atomic bomb. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin the film stars Cillian Murphy as the man who led the effort in the midst of a world war to unleash the power of the atom. Christopher Nolan has fashioned a story of discovery bathed in the light of a thousand suns - but one that is darkened by government surveillance and the travesty of a trial to which Oppenheimer was subjected. In his introduction to the screenplay Kai Bird co-author of American Prometheus praises Nolan s skill in taking an extremely complex life story and miraculously turning it into visual art that is faithful both to the history and the man.
