Aside from its directorial pedigree, the film is stacked with an impressive cast, including Cillian Murphy as the titular scientist, as well as Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Gary Oldman, and many, many more, and it also happens to be based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer.
