Cillian Murphy, who will portray the father of the atomic bomb will be seen as lead.
Other stars like Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr., & more will bring his life story to the big screen.
The film is based on the book “American Prometheus: The Triumph & Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer”
It is written by Kai Bird & Martin J Sherwin & was published in May 2006.
The book won $10,000 in prize money along with the Pulitzer for Biography in 2006.
