Oppenheimer Is Now Available to Stream! How to Watch the Film at Home

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has become a huge phenomenon following its release.

Hitting theaters the same day at Greta Gerwig’s Barbie in an event that was dubbed “Barbenheimer” as movie-goers flocked to the theater to see both films, Oppenheimer quickly became a box office smash as it made an impressive $80.5 million in its first three days in theaters.

Starring Peaky Blinders’ Cillian Murphy as the titular J. Robert Oppenheimer, the star-studded film centers on the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II. More specifically, it follows Oppenheimer, the man responsible for making the Manhattan Project a success.
