Oppenheimer
2023
The story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant and tormented theoretical physicist who led the Manhattan Project to develop the world's first atomic bomb - and then had to live with what he had created. Christopher Nolan's sweeping, immersive biography is as much a portrait of conscience and consequence as it is a technical and historical spectacle.

Kings College
Exterior and establishing shots depicting Oppenheimer's time studying in England. The picturesque King's College overlooking the River Cam appears in a scene early in the film where Oppenheimer studies at Cambridge and nearly poisons Niels Bohr with a cyanide-laced apple. Note: historically, Oppenheimer studied at Christ's College rather than King's College; King's was used for its visual appeal.
