Synopsis
To End All War: Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb (2023) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Christopher Cassel — an 88-minute account of how J. Robert Oppenheimer's relentless drive produced a weapon that rewrote the rules of every conflict that followed.
The film draws on voices that carry real weight: physicist Michio Kaku, historians Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin (whose Pulitzer-winning biography shaped Christopher Nolan's feature), nuclear security researcher Mareena Robinson Snowden, and Charles Oppenheimer, the scientist's own grandson. Archival footage anchors the story, from the Trinity test in the New Mexico desert to the two days in August 1945 that killed hundreds of thousands of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Christopher Nolan also appears on screen.
Released the same year as the Hollywood blockbuster, Cassel's documentary offers what dramatization cannot — no actors, no score cues, just testimony and the moral weight that Oppenheimer himself carried for the rest of his life. Stream To End All War: Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb online on iFILM.
