This page reveals the connection. Try the puzzle first if you want to work it out.
Cillian Murphy connects to Russell Crowe through Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway: Oppenheimer (2023), The Devil Wears Prada (2006), and Les Misérables (2012).
The verified route
Cillian Murphy → Emily Blunt → Anne Hathaway → Russell Crowe
Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt are both listed in the cast of Oppenheimer (2023).
Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway are both listed in the cast of The Devil Wears Prada (2006).
Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe are both listed in the cast of Les Misérables (2012).
Why this connection works
The middle film is the pivot. One actor enters it from Oppenheimer and another exits it toward Les Misérables.
What the evidence establishes
A shared cast credit connects two actors through a particular movie. It does not establish friendship, a personal relationship, or a scene together. Movie years distinguish these titles from remakes and other versions.
These routes use the films and candidates selected for this puzzle. They are not a complete filmography or a claim about the shortest route across every movie.
