Want a physical copy? The Oppenheimer Blu-ray is currently available at retailers such as Best Buy and Gruv.com (Universal Picture’s store) as well as Amazon, Target and Walmart.

The Blu-ray includes special features such as The Story of Our Time: The Making of Oppenheimer, Meet the Press Q&A Panel: Oppenheimer and To End All War: Oppenheimer & The Atomic Bomb.

Nolan wrote and directed the film about theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as the “father of the atomic bomb.” Cillian Murphy portrays Oppenheimer. Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh and Casey Affleck also appear throughout the film.

“I view Oppenheimer as the most important person who ever lived,” Nolan said in an interview with CBS earlier this year.  “Oppenheimer’s story is one of the biggest stories imaginable. By unleashing atomic power, he gave us the power to destroy ourselves that we never had before, and that changes the human equation.”

The Oscar-nominated film was adapted from the 2005 novel American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. The film was released in theaters the same day as Barbie on July 21, 2023. With so many fans opting for the #Barbenheimer double feature during opening weekend, Oppenheimer debuted in second place behind Barbie and has raked in nearly $1 billion at the box office.

The official screenplay is also available at Amazon.
