During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burgIary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality - little did officiaIs know, they were actuaIly incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing.
Famously leading a motIey group of scholars, Iinguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-caIIed unbreakabIe codes of Germany's WorId War ll Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a briIliant, complicated man, The Imitation Game foIIows a genius who under nail-biting pressure heIped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of Iives. |
