What is the running time, in minutes, of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer?

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has a running time of 180 minutes.

Oppenheimer runs for three hours, making it Nolan’s longest film at the time of its release. The length reflects the film’s broad historical scope: it follows J. Robert Oppenheimer’s scientific work, the Manhattan Project, his political persecution and the later consequences of the atomic bomb.

The film moves between different periods and perspectives rather than presenting a simple chronological biography. Colour sequences focus largely on Oppenheimer’s subjective experience, while black-and-white sections present events through Lewis Strauss’s viewpoint. These shifts help distinguish personal memory, political interpretation and public history.

The runtime is sometimes reported incorrectly because different screenings may include trailers, advertisements or local presentation material. The feature itself is 180 minutes long. Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer, with Robert Downey Jr. playing Strauss.
