James Cameron has described Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s multi-Oscar-winning 2023 biopic about the atomic scientist Robert Oppenheimer, a “moral cop-out”.

Speaking to Deadline about his forthcoming project Ghosts of Hiroshima, about the effects of the bomb in that city, Cameron said he disagreed with Nolan’s narrative choices. “It’s interesting what he stayed away from,” said Cameron. “Look, I love the film-making, but I did feel that it was a bit of a moral cop-out.”
