Oppenheimer | Robert Downey, Jr.

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.

The film stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. Oscar® winner Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a founding commissioner of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.

Oppenheimer also stars Oscar® winner Rami Malek and reunites Nolan with eight-time Oscar® nominated actor, writer and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh.

The cast includes Dane DeHaan (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), Dylan Arnold (Halloween franchise), David Krumholtz (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises).

The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan.

Oppenheimer is filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including, for the first time ever, sections in IMAX® black and white analogue photography.

Nolan’s films, including Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, have earned more than $5 billion at the global box office and have been awarded 11 Oscars and 36 nominations, including two Best Picture nominations.

The gradual exposure of his diplomacy, aggression and vindictiveness was truly cinematic genius.

[whysoserious]

Dude deserves the best supporting actor Oscar.

[amiiae]

Robert is so good at expressing the emotions and thoughts of his characters without dialogues. He can pull the audience in the movies. His acting was spectacular in this movie, as the antagonist. His performance was magical in this movie, it couldn't have been better and no actor could have played this role better than Robert.

[franklesher]

Robert Downey Jr created a magnetic performance.

[leightonbate]

As Roberts has said himself this is exactly what he needed at this stage in his career, he had to show he wasn't just chasing a cheque and repeating himself but could deliver a nuanced performance and he delivered and now his career has entered a hopefully interesting third stage.

[space_]

I really think he gave the best performance in the whole film.

[dasupertramp]

Robert is a master of subtle expression and of immersion into characters that are complex and deeply affecting. His performances are always interesting and exciting. One of the GOATs ❤

[D.E.L.]

Most of his shoots are black and white, but he gave us a performance with all the colours! I love the last scene, "I gave him what he want, remember by trinity" . He is a true masterpiece and he deserves to ve recognize by that

[spookaz]

I love how Downey Jr changed his life from being in and out of prison, addiction problems, to compete sobriety, and becoming one of the best actors of the last 20 years

"He's the dude playing the dude who's pressuring the dude that built the bomb"

[IsMaski]

One of the finest actors.. Really enjoyed the range he showed throughout the entire film

[diegoperleche]

Robert Downey Jr did Chaplin, Kiss kiss bang bang, Zodiac, Iron Man, until he came to Oppenheimer and it is possibly his best role in his entire career, his performance is fantastic, exciting and intimidating in the most tense moments.
Like Murphy, Robert Downey Jr has every advantage to win all the awards for his magnificent performance.
Let's see what it will be like in a versus with Robert De Niro and Charles Melton.
Let's go for that Oscar, RDJ :D

[GeneralZod]

just remember he was nominated for an Oscar for Best actor alongside Al pacino, and Eastwood before Nolan and the other actors in Oppenheimer's cast became famous... RDJ is a TRUE LEGEND...

[origamiaric]

Honestly it’s this performance that convinces me that RDJ can pull off Doctor Doom

[AA-qbni]

I'd love to see RDJ win his well deserved Oscar. He was phenomenal 🙌🏼

Watched the Judge and you will be enamoured by his performance

[ronaldh]

RDJ's last Oscar nomination... for Tropic Thunder - loses to Heath Ledger in Nolan's Dark Night. 15 years later Nolan casts RDJ in Oppenheimer... to an Academy Award winning performance. How wonderfully ironic that moment on March 10th will be. And even more special when reflecting on where the man's life was heading 25 years ago.

[vitanus]

Still only his second best performance, none will ever beat his depiction of a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

[gavinperry]

It was such a great performance at the start I thought he was a friend, the way he later shows his villiany is incredible

[dasupertramp]

Scott Grimes said that he was only supposed to have 2 days of filming. Downey thought that, as Strauss' lawyer, Grimes should be with him in all scenes, so Grimes ended up filming for 2 weeks. Nice way to support a fellow actor 👏👏
