''It’s the first time he’s cast me in a lead, which I’m still a bit in shock about, but I’m thrilled. It’s a huge part and a lot of work. But in my estimation, you’re working with one of the greatest living directors, so you’re in safe hands.''

Oppenheimer is based on American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, a book on the revered physicist's life penned by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Here's a brief synopsis of the book, as per Amazon:

The synopsis further states,
''In this magisterial, acclaimed biography twenty-five years in the making, Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin capture Oppenheimer’s life and times, from his early career to his central role in the Cold War. This is biography and history at its finest, riveting and deeply informative.''
