Oppenheimer (2023) Movie Explanation in Hindi | Story |

Oppenheimer is a 2023 epic biographical thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist who was pivotal in developing the first nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project, and thereby ushering in the Atomic Age. Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer, with Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife, Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer, Matt Damon as General Leslie Groves, Oppenheimer's military handler, and Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, a senior member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The ensemble cast includes Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.

In 1926, 22-year-old J. Robert Oppenheimer grapples with homesickness and anxiety while studying at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, under the demanding Patrick Blackett. After completing his PhD in physics at the University of Göttingen in Germany, Oppenheimer returns to the United States, hoping to expand quantum physics research there. He starts teaching at the University of California, Berkeley and the California Institute of Technology. He encounters figures such as Ernest Lawrence, the 1939 Nobel Prize winner who emphasizes practical applications; Jean Tatlock, a member of the Communist Party USA with whom he has an intermittent romantic relationship until her eventual suicide; and his future wife Katherine Puening, a biologist and ex-Communist.

U.S. Army General Leslie Groves recruits Oppenheimer to lead the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb after Oppenheimer assures Groves that he has no communist sympathies. Oppenheimer (who is Jewish) is particularly driven by the possibility that the Nazis have a nuclear weapons program underway. He assembles a scientific team in Los Alamos, New Mexico to secretly create the bomb, intending it will save the world despite potential global repercussions. At one point, he and Albert Einstein discuss the theoretical possibility of such a bomb triggering a chain reaction that could destroy the entire world.
