One of the most powerful films of the decade is finally making its way to streaming. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer makes its exclusive Peacock streaming debut on August 16, giving audiences another chance to experience the Oscar winning epic from home.

Starring Cillian Murphy in his Academy Award winning performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the film explores the brilliant physicist’s role in the creation of the atomic bomb and the devastating consequences that followed. But Oppenheimer is about far more than science and history. Nolan delivers an intense character study about ambition, power, responsibility and the personal cost of changing the world.

Murphy leads an incredible ensemble featuring Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck and Rami Malek. Each performance adds another layer to a story that moves between scientific discovery, political conflict and deeply personal consequences.

Nolan also turns the Manhattan Project into gripping cinematic drama, building tremendous tension around the race to develop the atomic bomb and the historic Trinity test.

Whether you're revisiting the film or watching it for the first time, Oppenheimer remains an unforgettable piece of filmmaking. Thought provoking, beautifully performed and impossible to dismiss once the credits roll.

Oppenheimer begins streaming exclusively on Peacock August 16.
