Christopher Nolan’s movie mixes diligent research with artistic license. Here’s which is which.

He was chairman of the advisory council to the Atomic Energy Commission and president of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, which had previously been led by Einstein. His hedged attitude toward the H-bomb threatened the project’s funding.
Further damage was done by Edward Teller , one of the Los Alamos scientists. Teller had been bored by the A-bomb project, even while it was going on, and wanted to move ahead with an H-bomb. He and Oppenheimer quarreled about this. After the war, Teller pushed to create a separate lab dedicated to building H-bombs. Oppenheimer opposed the idea, so Teller defanged him by testifying against him at the hearing.
Then, in December 1963, President Lyndon Johnson awarded Oppenheimer the Fermi Award, one of the most prestigious in American science, carrying a cash award of $50,000 . Teller, who was at the White House ceremony, offered his hand to Oppenheimer, who shook it. Kitty did not; she scowled, properly. The film accurately depicts both moments of triumph. Even clocking in at three hours, there are several aspects of this story that go untouched.
