The historical drama, which took home seven awards at the 96th Academy Awards — including best actor, best picture and best director, was released on Peacock on Feb. 16. The streaming service previously announced the news Jan. 12. (Peacock is owned by TODAY.com’s parent company, NBCUniversal.)

Directed by Christopher Nolan, the blockbuster movie features an all-star cast, including Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt and Matt Damon.

It premiered in theaters on July 21, 2023, and quickly became both a critical hit and a fan favorite, dominating the box office alongside Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.”

What is ‘Oppenheimer’ about?

The three-hour epic, which became the highest-grossing biopic in history, tells the life story of famed physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Murphy), the father of the atomic bomb.

The movie follows Oppenheimer from his days as a brilliant college student through his time as head of the top-secret Manhattan Project during World War II.

It shows Oppenheimer grappling with the power of his deadly invention, and culminates by depicting the controversial 1954 hearing where Oppenheimer, accused of having communist sympathies, was stripped of his security clearance.
