Ultimately, the one question behind almost every decision is very basic—just because someone is capable of accomplishing something, should they? Especially if the capable person is a flawed super-genius creating a super weapon that will forever alter humanity’s destiny. That’s precisely the query at the core of “Oppenheimer,” the epic dramatic biopic starring Cillian Murphy as the titular theoretical physicist.

Manitowoc Public Library’s Matt invites one and all to join him for an evening in the Balkansky Community Room for a screening of Oppenheimer (2023, R, 3hrs). FREE admission.
