**Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture** The complete screenplay of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer centers on the life of the "father of the atomic bomb." Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film stars Cillian Murphy as the man who led the effort, in the midst of a world war, to unleash the power of the atom. Christopher Nolan has fashioned a story of discovery bathed in the light of a thousand suns – but one that is darkened by government surveillance and the travesty of a trial to which Oppenheimer was subjected. In his introduction to the screenplay, Kai Bird, co-author of American Prometheus , praises Nolan’s skill in taking an extremely complex life story and miraculously turning it into "visual art that is faithful both to the history and the man." Review: GREAT TO READ THE SCREENPLAY - It was a great movie and required a lot of work to fully understand. Every scene was in different time zone. Reading the screenplay along with it or afterwards was enlightening and fascinating. David Dennington, Author of The Airshipmen Trilogy Review: Nolan’s Best Work - This screenplay has been a joy to read for its unique choices. Nolan has always been one of my favorite filmmakers, but this is a masterclass ins screen writing, story adaptation, an general writing for the screen. The choice to use first person narrative perspective really begs many interesting questions.

Fabulous Book SCREENPLAY
Oppenheimer was an incredible, mesmerizing film by Christopher Nolan. The powerhouse cast with the star being Cillian Murphy was born to play this role. As novice screenwriter, I couldn't wait to read Nolan's script. It is a perfect gift for any writer or someone interested in the theme of the film, OPPENHEIMER.

BEYOND deserving of the Adapted Screenplay Academy Award!
The screenplay for Oppenheimer is a work of pure genius. I was mind blown to learn that the plethora of cross cuts in the film that jump back and forth in time ALL stem from the script. This also applies to the title card, voiceovers, and recurring sound (i.e. the rhythmic tapping of feet on bleachers) too. Simply put, Nolan brilliantly adapted Kai Bird’s 700+ page American Prometheus book into a 180 page masterwork, and his novel approach of writing the protagonist in first-person will change screenwriting forever.

Corner came bent
Book is absolutely perfect but the bottom corner of the first like 20 pages came bent. Not that big of a deal but kinda makes me wanna throw up 🤷♂️

The script for the best film of the 21st century so far.
The only that you could possibly criticize this is that there is not comprehensive production details and etc. But maybe that's for another book. The screenplay is magnificent! You can see why so many Oscar winners signed up for small roles. It's a very meaningful film, beautifully written & the dialogue is tremendous. But as good as the screenplay is, the film is 10 times better. Can't wait for the Blu-ray and 4k!
