Why Oppenheimer Was Called The American Prometheus

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is loosely based on Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin's American Prometheus and even subtly highlights why the notable physicist was given that title. The Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer made waves at the global box office not only because of the Barbenheimer pop-culture phenomenon but also because of its gripping portrayal of the atomic bomb's development and aftermath during World War II. While Oppenheimer takes a fair share of creative liberties with its portrayal of historical events, the film features some incredible performances and memorable visuals.
