While Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is noted for not having any CGI in recreating the nuclear explosion, it did still have a lot of VFX artistes who worked in creating the practical explosion. However, according to the end credits, Nolan forgot to credit over an estimated 80 per cent of those artistes.

The biopic is based on J Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who oversaw the Trinity Test and the Manhattan Project, leading to the development of the first atomic bomb in history in 1945 during the end of World War 2.
