Following big wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, Christopher Nolan’s historical epic Oppenheimer is on course for award season glory, with the announcement of the Bafta 2024 nominations.
Securing 13 nods, the drama is up for best film, director, adapted screenplay and leading actor for Cillian Murphy, while Greta Gerwig’s rival summer blockbuster, Barbie, was nominated for five categories.
British filmmaker Nolan’s biopic chronicles the career of American theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, dubbed the “father of the atomic bomb”, and his role in the development of the world’s first nuclear weapons during the Second World War.
Murphy stars in the critically acclaimed movie alongside Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Florence Pugh. Having already won best picture at the Golden Globes, Oppenheimer is the bookies’ frontrunner for an Oscars and Bafta sweep.
Whether you’re yet to see Murphy’s celebrated performance as Oppenheimer or want to rewatch the historical drama ahead of the awards, here’s how to steam the movie from the comfort of your living room.

What is ‘Oppenheimer’ about?
Christopher Nolan’s biopic follows the career of physicist J Robert Oppenheimer’s (played by Cillian Murphy), from his studies in Cambridge to teaching at Berkeley. After nuclear fission is discovered in 1938, Oppenhiemer realises it can be weaponised to speed up the end of the Second World War.
After being appointed by Lt Gen Leslie Groves Jr (Matt Damon) to work on the top-secret Manhattan project, Oppenheimer and a team of scientists spend years in the desert, developing and designing the atomic bomb.
When three-years of work results in the world’s first nuclear explosion, Oppenheimer grapples with his role in changing history.
