Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror OTT Release Date - When and where to watch documentary on 1995 US terror

Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror OTT Release Date - Some stories are too painful to forget, yet too important not to remember. This upcoming saga is one such powerful reminder and an eye-opening documentary that revisits one of the deadliest domestic terror attacks in American history. Premiering April 18 on Netflix, this documentary takes viewers back to April 19, 1995, the day a bomb ripped through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring hundreds more.

An incident that shook America to its core

Directed by Greg Tillman, the film walks you through every moment of that horrific day. Using a mix of crime scene recreations, survivor testimonies, and interviews with first responders and investigators, the documentary paints a raw, emotional picture of how ordinary people responded to an extraordinary tragedy.

One of the most striking elements is the inclusion of archival audio interviews with Timothy McVeigh, the man behind the bombing. Hearing McVeigh in his own words offers chilling insight into the mind of a man whose hatred and radical ideology turned deadly.

More about Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror

What makes American Terror stand out is its focus on the event and the investigation that followed. The film shows how the FBI, along with local Oklahoma law enforcement, cracked one of the most complex crime scenes in U.S. history. From tiny forensic clues to witness sketches and a lucky traffic stop, each breakthrough in the case feels like a piece of a much larger and darker puzzle.

At the heart of the story is also the question: What led McVeigh to do this? The documentary does not shy away from this. It explores his disillusionment with the U.S. government, his anger over the Waco siege and Ruby Ridge, and his belief in a violent uprising. Oklahoma City Bombing: American Terror is produced by Tiller Russell (Waco: American Apocalypse, Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer), along with Emmy nominees Brian Lovett and Jeff Hasler (Deadliest Catch).
