The 1980 BBC series, also called Oppenheimer, was a far, far superior retelling of both the technical and the human drama of the Manhattan Project and of Oppenheimer’s later life. Still available for viewing online and via DVD. Worth the investment of seven hours even if you’ve seen Nolan’s movie already.
