Oppenheimer

Join Jed Sparks, Donlon Hall faculty-in-residence, for a special screening of Oppenheimer and commentary on science advocacy and what scientists’ role should be in influencing policy.

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it. Cillian Murphy stars as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist that is credited with developing the atomic bomb and changing the course of history. The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin.

Free admission and free popcorn! This event is sponsored by Faculty Living-Learning Programs as part of the “North Campus Goes to the Movies” film series.
