J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Grandson Says He “Definitely Would Have Removed” One Scene in Christopher Nolan’s Film
Although Nolan warned that there were going to be dramatized parts in the movie, Charles Oppenheimer explains which scene he would have preferred not be included in the film.
Due to historical inaccuracy,
> Charles would have preferred the scene where Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer tried to kill his professor by injecting cyanide into an apple not have been included in the film.
Thank you for saving everyone a click.
It's apocryphal. Apparently he told at least one friend at the time that he had done it. Whether he actually did it or just thought about it and was being a dramatic young man will never be known.

Could have been cool if the sceen was more like a daydream so it references it but doesn’t present it as fact. Although it is a drama/biopic not a documentary
So I'm inferring this was a total fabrication? Great scene regardless.
The Wikipedia article seems to say something similar happened, but in a different way.
