Cillian Murphy's Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer is now on Netflix – and climbing the charts
Oppenheimer was one of the biggest films of 2023, and now you can watch it from home.
Christopher Nolan's smash-hit film Oppenheimer is now available on Netflix – and is swiftly making its way up the charts.
One of the biggest movies of 2023, Oppenheimer took home seven Oscars and cemented itself as one of the most successful biopics of all time.
Cillian Murphy leads the cast as titular American scientist J Robert Oppenheimer, the man who would ultimately become known as the "father" of the atomic bomb.
Told through multiple timelines, Oppenheimer moves back and forth between black and white and colour imagery – noting life before and after the creation of the bomb.
On top of his involvement in the Manhattan Project, which created the bomb that would change the world forever, the film follows his life and complicated relationships with his wife, Kitty, and mistress Jean Tatlock.
Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh and Matt Damon joined Murphy in the stacked cast, with the movie becoming the third highest-grossing film of 2023 behind Greta Gerwig's Barbie and video-game adaptation The Super Mario Bros Movie.
At the Academy Awards in 2024, the film swept the ceremony, with Nolan winning Best Director; Murphy winning Best Actor; and Downey Jr winning Best Supporting Actor, as well as the film winning Best Picture.
Just two days after the film's release on Netflix, Oppenheimer has reached number four in the streaming services charts in the UK – with potential to reach the number one slot, which is currently held by Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding.
Animation K-Pop Demon Hunters sits at number two, while foreign language thriller Brick is number three.
