The film follows the true story of Physicist Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the nuclear bomb that was eventually dropped on the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

The film showcases the events of Oppenheimer working with a team of scientists during the Manhattan Project, leading to the development of the atomic bomb.

The film stars massive actors and actresses such as Cillian Murphy playing Oppenheimer himself, Robert Downey Jr, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon and more.

Besides the UK, only USA, Canada, Australia and the Czech Republic will be screening the film in the specialised IMAX format making it a rarity for cinema fans.

The film will be released on the 21st of July with IMAX 70mm tickets available to buy from the VUE website.
