With the release earlier this year of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster film “Oppenheimer,” thousands of visitors are expected to descend on the southern New Mexico site where the world’s first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945

FILE - Scientists and other workers rig the world's first atomic bomb to raise it up onto a 100-foot tower at the Trinity Test Site near Alamogordo, N.M. The New Mexico site where the world’s first atomic bomb was detonated is expecting thousands of visitors Saturday due to the popularity of the movie,"Oppenheimer." Trinity Site, a designated National Historic Landmark, only opens to the public twice a year.

White Sands officials warned online that the wait to enter the gates could be as long as two hours. No more than 5,000 visitors are expected to make it within the window between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Part of the film's success was due to the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon in which filmgoers made a double feature outing of the “Barbie” movie and “Oppenheimer."
