For “how long is Oblivion?”, there are three popular things people usually mean: the Tom Cruise sci‑fi movie, the 90s movie, or the Elder Scrolls IV game. I’ll cover all three so you have a complete answer.

How Long Is Oblivion?

Movies titled “Oblivion”

1. Oblivion (2013, Tom Cruise)

  • Typical listed running time: about 2 hours 4 minutes (124 minutes).
  • Some platforms round this to “about 2 hours 15 minutes” including trailers, credits, or formatting.

So if you’re planning a watch, assume roughly 2 hours and a bit.

2. Oblivion (1994 sci‑fi western)

  • The 1994 sci‑fi western “Oblivion” runs about 1 hour 34 minutes (94 minutes).

This is a noticeably shorter and older film, not related to the Tom Cruise one.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (game)

If you meant the game, “how long is Oblivion?” becomes more of a “how do you play?” question than a fixed number.

Main story only

Players often say:

  • You can rush the main quest fairly quickly if you ignore most side content.
  • Some community comments mention that if you focus on main quests and don’t get sidetracked, it feels like a relatively short RPG compared to how huge the world is.

In practice, people report that a main‑quest‑focused run feels like a compact storyline inside a huge sandbox.

Full playthroughs and “completionist” style

Community discussions give a very wide range:

  • A “good solid playthrough” can easily stretch over months of casual play, especially when you add in guilds, side quests, exploration, and DLC.
  • Some players talk about hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single character because they simply keep exploring and role‑playing rather than “finishing” in a traditional sense.

One Reddit comment even jokes that it “takes infinite hours because you’ll love it and never want it to end,” which captures the feel of an open‑world game more than a literal time.

Speedruns and extremes

In speedrunning and challenge contexts:

  • Glitch‑heavy speedruns can get the game done in just a few minutes.
  • Glitch‑free routed runs still come in dramatically shorter than a normal casual playthrough.

So the “length” of Oblivion the game ranges from minutes (speedruns) to essentially “as long as you want to keep playing” (role‑playing and exploration).

Simple Takeaway

  • Oblivion (2013 film): about 2 hours (124 minutes).
  • Oblivion (1994 film): about 1 hour 34 minutes.
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (game):
    • Main story can be done relatively quickly if you focus hard.
* Exploring everything can last hundreds of hours or effectively never “end.”

If you tell me which Oblivion you had in mind (movie vs game), I can give a more tailored breakdown, including typical playtimes or watchtimes for different styles.
