One of this summer’s biggest cinematic events, Oppenheimer, brings the story of US scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer to the big screen. Director Christopher Nolan’s film is the latest of many portrayals of the so-called “father of the atomic bomb” on page, stage and screen. Here are six of the most intriguing.

1. The Man Who Would Be God by Haakon Chevalier (1959)

• This novel is particularly fascinating in that it was written by a friend of Oppenheimer, who played a role in his downfall.
• In winter 1942-43, Chevalier sounded out Oppenheimer’s stance on passing secrets to the Soviet Union.
• Chevalier presents Bloch as intoxicated by the force of his own personality and power over others.

2. Oppenheimer (BBC, 1980)

• Opening credits show a secret tape playing Oppenheimer’s conversations (the FBI file on Oppenheimer, opened in 1941, eventually ran to 7,000 pages) and the series builds to the fateful security hearing.
• Sam Waterston’s nuanced performance portrays Oppenheimer as a brilliant but troubled figure.

3. Doctor Atomic by John Adams (2005)

• Frequently, depictions of Oppenheimer draw on mythic archetypes, presenting him as a Promethean or Faustian figure.
• In one aria, the words of the poet John Donne (“Batter my heart, three-person’d God”) show an Oppenheimer who is profoundly shaken by the terrible potential of his invention.

4. Oppenheimer by Tom Morton-Smith (2015)

• Another stage production, Morton-Smith’s play was put on by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
• The play draws out Oppenheimer’s complexity, also impressively sketching in contexts of atomic physics and his 1930s political activism.

5. Quartet for J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kelly Cherry (2017)

• Cherry’s impressive 121-poem biography of Oppenheimer harnesses the allusive potential of poetry to produce an intriguing, multifaceted depiction of his life.
• Expanding beyond the remit of most depictions, which focus on the years between the 1930s and 1950s, Cherry’s collection follows Oppenheimer from birth to death.

6. Trinity by Louisa Hall (2018)

• Oppenheimer is depicted as an elusive figure, constantly sliding away from attempts to pin him down.
• That writers, directors and composers keep retelling his story shows how enigmatic and elusive Oppenheimer is.
• These tales are ways of exploring the profound implications of living in a nuclear age.

• Today, National Geographic Documentary Films announced the July 28 theatrical release of BOBI WINE: THE PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT, the award-winning feature documentary debut from directors Moses Bwayo and Christopher Sharp and produced by Christopher Sharp, alongside two-time Academy Award winner John Battsek’s Ventureland.
• In partnership with Variance Films, the documentary will open in theaters in New York and Los Angeles starting July 28 before rolling out to additional markets, followed by National Geographic Channel and Disney+ later this year.
• “Being born and raised in Uganda, I feel strongly that the people there should have leaders who represent their collective interests.
• “Bobi and Barbie’s courage and unwavering commitment to bringing democracy to the people of Uganda is hugely inspiring,” said Carolyn Bernstein, executive vice president of Scripted and Documentary Films for National Geographic.
