Sherwin, the film follows the life of theoretical physicist J.

As depicted in the film, Oppenheimer met Truman on October 25, 1945, where their differing views on nuclear weapons caused friction between them.While speaking to Truman, Oppenheimer famously claimed to have “blood on his hands” following the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – a comment which angered the president who, ultimately, gave the order to drop the atomic bomb in Japan.According to the book Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside The Center by Ray Monk, Truman responded: “Blood on his hands; damn it, he hasn’t half as much blood on his hands as I have.
