OPPENHEIMER [15] 180 mins – History/Drama
Please note the earlier start time of 7pm - doors open at 6.45pm
During World War II, Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves Jr. (Matt Damon) appoints physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) to work on the top-secret Manhattan Project.
Oppenheimer and a team of scientists spend years developing and designing the atomic bomb. Their work comes to fruition on July 16, 1945, as they witness the world's first nuclear explosion, forever changing the course of history.
Every scene feels like a cataclysm waiting to happen, fitting for a film that builds, step-by-step, to the creation of a cataclysm machine. Oppenheimer both summons awe for what it took to build the bomb and for the changes it wrought.
WHY COME? The combination of Christopher Nolan, a fantastic cast and a riveting story.
All films are shown upstairs in Pelham Hall (directions at page bottom) in the bar area.
Oppenheimer is a 3 hour film, so doors open at the earlier time of 6.45 pm for a start at 7.00 pm prompt. There is a £5 per head entry fee, payable on the door (cash or card). The bar will be open too.
