Netflix is diving deep into one of the darkest days in modern U.S. history with its upcoming documentary Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror. Premiering on April 18, 2025, this searing new film recounts the events surrounding the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City — a horrifying domestic terrorist attack that claimed 168 lives and injured hundreds more. With a powerful mix of archival footage, firsthand interviews, and a haunting original score, the documentary promises to bring fresh perspective and emotional gravity to a tragedy that shook the nation.
Directed and written by Greg Tillman, Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror explores the chilling details of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which killed 168 people, including 19 children. The attack stunned the nation and forever changed the way Americans viewed domestic extremism.
Backed by a high-profile producing team including Brian Lovett, Jeff Hasler, William Green, Aaron L. Ginsburg, and Tiller Russell, the documentary offers a meticulous account of the events leading up to the bombing, the aftermath, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Tillman also serves as an executive producer alongside Abby Schwarzwalder and Jennifer Dugan.
The film’s emotional depth is heightened by an evocative score composed by Pedro Bromfman and Juan Carlos Enriquez, while a seasoned team of editors — Rick Milewski, Nate Gross, Rogelio Abraldes, Rodrigo Brazao, James Carroll, and Samuel Nalband — crafts a narrative that is both informative and deeply moving. Nick Higgins serves as the director of photography, capturing the gravity and scale of the tragedy through a cinematic lens.
Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror adds to Netflix’s growing slate of socially conscious and historically significant documentaries. With its combination of personal stories, investigative journalism, and high production value, the film is expected to resonate with audiences looking to understand how the events of 1995 continue to echo through the national conversation today.
The documentary is being released on the eve of the bombing’s anniversary, offering a timely reminder of the devastating consequences of homegrown extremism — and the enduring resilience of a community forever marked by tragedy.
