Of the handful of films audiences are looking forward to watching in theaters next year, the upcoming biopic, Oppenheimer is definitely at the top of that list. To hype it up, Universal Pictures released the first trailer of the Christopher Nolan biopic, revealing snippets of the creation of one of the most destructive man-made instruments of war: the atomic bomb.
Oppenheimer tells the story of the world-renowned American theoretical physicist Robert J. Oppenheimer and his endeavor to create the atomic bomb in what later became known as the Manhattan Project.
The two-minute-long trailer begins with the introduction of Oppenheimer, who delivers a monologue in the form of narration, explaining the unimaginable power that they're trying to create and stating that they'll only understand it once it's used. During the course of the narration, the trailer provides little peeks into the construction and the assembly of the first atomic bomb. The trailer then shows Oppenheimer's reluctance to conduct the experiment, revealing his doubts about who can be trusted to wield such a weapon.
