Oppenheimer
Description
The acclaimed, multi award-winning biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Sam Waterston stars in this classic seven part BBC mini-series as nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man who led the Manhattan Project to build the weapon that would bring a devastating end to World War Two. A brilliant scientist, Oppenheimer began to realise the scale of the weapon he was developing, and he became increasingly ambivalent and even hostile about its eventual use. His fears lead the military establishment to suspect him of having Communist sympathies and, during the McCarthy era, Oppenheimer found himself accused of being a risk to national security. The series won three BAFTAs including Best Drama Series, and was nominated for two Emmys. Sam Waterston was nominated for the Best Actor Golden Globe.
