His early notable film credits include the horror film 28 Days Later (2002), the dark comedy Intermission (2003), the thriller Red Eye (2005), the Irish war drama The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006), and the science fiction thriller Sunshine (2007). He played a transgender Irish woman in the comedy-drama Breakfast on Pluto (2005), which earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination. Murphy began collaborating with filmmaker Christopher Nolan in 2005, playing Dr. Jonathan Crane / Scarecrow in The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005–2012) as well as appearing in Inception (2010) and Dunkirk (2017) and portraying the lead role of J. Robert Oppenheimer in the biographical epic Oppenheimer (2023). By the year 2023, Murphy has already worked with Nolan for around 20 years and six films. He also gained prominence for his role as Tommy Shelby in the BBC period drama series Peaky Blinders (2013–2022) and for starring in the horror sequel A Quiet Place Part II (2020). In 2011, Murphy won the Irish Times Theatre Award for Best Actor and Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance for the one-man play Misterman. In 2020, The Irish Times named him one of the greatest Irish film actors.
When a group of strangers awakens deep inside an endless forest with no memory of how they arrived, they quickly learn they are trapped in a place where the laws of nature no longer exist. Every path shifts, every shadow watches, and every sunset marks the beginning of another deadly night. To survive, they must work together while uncovering the truth behind the Forest, the ancient entities that roam within it, and the mysterious countdown that governs their fate. As the days pass, alliances fracture, terrifying creatures emerge from the darkness, and a fanatical cult devoted to the Forest’s hidden ruler begins hunting them. Each answer reveals an even greater horror, leading the survivors toward a confrontation with an ancient force that has waited centuries for their arrival. In the Forest, escape is never guaranteed, and some nightmares refuse to stay buried. Adapted into a film by the book with the same name. (Book not yet published, same as film. Is in the works though!) (Not connected at all to the 20th Century Film called 99 Nights in the Forest. Or the Roblox game 99 nights in the forest, though it does take a little from that. Original idea came from that.)
