A road trip inspired by Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer'

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer was filmed in just 57 days; the biopic, which follows the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the infamous Manhattan Project, was filmed primarily on Ghost Ranch, a New Mexico retreat made famous by Georgia O’Keeffe. While the 1940s town was constructed for the movie, several scenes took place in Los Alamos, where the real-life Oppenheimer's house—and several other relics of the atomic age—still stands.

Here are 10 stops on a cross-country road trip inspired by Oppenheimer, from the desert site of the first nuclear bomb detonation to a nearly 400-year-old bonsai tree that survived the 1945 blast in Hiroshima.
