I doubt it. It sounds like it will attempt to canonize Oppenheimer.
I will wait until I can watch it for free, but I will watch it out of curiosity.
Oppenheimer was no hero. He was a scientist. And General Groves was astute enough to accept the risk of him being a communist sympathizer, if not a hidden party member.
I think General Groves made the right choice, but that cannot have been an easy one.

Didn’t they already do a movie “Fat Man and Little Boy” about this, with Paul Newman playing Groves?

And then the U.S. Government sought out and grabbed, as many German scientists as they could, that had worked for the Nazis in WWII.
