**Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture** The complete screenplay of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer centers on the life of the "father of the atomic bomb." Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film stars Cillian Murphy as the man who led the effort, in the midst of a world war, to unleash the power of the atom. Christopher Nolan has fashioned a story of discovery bathed in the light of a thousand suns – but one that is darkened by government surveillance and the travesty of a trial to which Oppenheimer was subjected. In his introduction to the screenplay, Kai Bird, co-author of American Prometheus , praises Nolan’s skill in taking an extremely complex life story and miraculously turning it into "visual art that is faithful both to the history and the man." Review: GREAT TO READ THE SCREENPLAY - It was a great movie and required a lot of work to fully understand. Every scene was in different time zone. Reading the screenplay along with it or afterwards was enlightening and fascinating. David Dennington, Author of The Airshipmen Trilogy Review: The script for the best film of the 21st century so far. - The only that you could possibly criticize this is that there is not comprehensive production details and etc. But maybe that's for another book. The screenplay is magnificent! You can see why so many Oscar winners signed up for small roles. It's a very meaningful film, beautifully written & the dialogue is tremendous. But as good as the screenplay is, the film is 10 times better. Can't wait for the Blu-ray and 4k!

Fabulous Book SCREENPLAY
Oppenheimer was an incredible, mesmerizing film by Christopher Nolan. The powerhouse cast with the star being Cillian Murphy was born to play this role. As novice screenwriter, I couldn't wait to read Nolan's script. It is a perfect gift for any writer or someone interested in the theme of the film, OPPENHEIMER.

Nolan’s Best Work
This screenplay has been a joy to read for its unique choices. Nolan has always been one of my favorite filmmakers, but this is a masterclass ins screen writing, story adaptation, an general writing for the screen. The choice to use first person narrative perspective really begs many interesting questions.

Fantastic screenplay
I noticed one error where the Character was mixed up with incorrect dialogue, but it’s OK. Awesome script to read and I see why all the actors spoke so highly of it! Good quality print, too.

One issue
Im not sure if this is every copy or just my own but ive found an issue. Sometimes they mix up the characters lines. For exmaple it will say Groves said X line when really Oppenheimer says it. Happens in the scene at the communist party meet too. Not sure if there are more.
