The film shows Strauss manipulating a kangaroo-court style hearing in 1954, where Oppenheimer is grilled about his past. The court revokes his clearance, destroying his reputation and influence. Years later, Strauss is nominated for Secretary of Commerce. The Senate confirmation hearing becomes the stage for the final confrontation. Scientists who remained loyal to Oppenheimer, such as Isidor Rabi, testify against Strauss, exposing his vindictive campaign. Ssis-698.mp4
Oppenheimer eventually moves to the University of California, Berkeley, to establish a center for quantum physics. He gathers a team of brilliant scientists. As World War II begins and the Nazis invade Poland, the physics community realizes the terrifying potential of nuclear fission. The fear is that Germany will develop an atomic bomb first.

We learn that Strauss harbors a deep resentment toward Oppenheimer. He feels humiliated by Oppenheimer during a radioisotope debate and believes Oppenheimer turned the scientific community against him. Strauss masterminds a political plot to strip Oppenheimer of his security clearance, using Oppenheimer’s past communist associations and his opposition to the hydrogen bomb (the "Super") to paint him as a security risk and a Soviet sympathizer.
General (Matt Damon) selects Oppenheimer to lead the Manhattan Project, despite Oppenheimer’s lack of administrative experience and his left-wing associations. Oppenheimer suggests Los Alamos, New Mexico—a place he loves—as the secret site for the laboratory. Part 2: The Manhattan Project The film shifts to Los Alamos, where Oppenheimer assembles the greatest scientific minds of the century, including Niels Bohr, Isidor Rabi, and Edward Teller. The scientists work against the clock, calculating how to create a bomb using uranium-235 and plutonium.
During Strauss's hearing, new evidence comes to light regarding a conversation between Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein. The film reveals that Oppenheimer feared that a nuclear detonation could ignite the atmosphere and destroy the world. While that fear passed, he now feared a nuclear arms race would inevitably lead to global annihilation.
Oppenheimer becomes a national hero but is deeply conflicted. He meets with President Harry S. Truman, attempting to express his remorse. Truman dismisses him coldly, telling him the blood is on his own hands and that Oppenheimer is just a "crybaby scientist" trying to absolve his guilt. This moment shatters Oppenheimer. Interwoven through the film (in black and white) is the story of Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.), a former shoe salesman turned businessman who becomes a member of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
Tensions rise when , a scientist on the team, is revealed (to the audience) to be a Soviet spy. This subplot creates dread, as Oppenheimer’s security clearance is constantly under scrutiny. Meanwhile, Oppenheimer’s personal life fractures; he marries Kitty Harrison (Emily Blunt), but their marriage is strained by his lingering feelings for Jean Tatlock.
