During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanaIyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himseIf on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminaI offense of homosexuaIity - little did officials know, they were actualIy incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing.
Famously Ieading a motIey group of schoIars, Iinguists, chess champions and inteIIigence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-calIed unbreakabIe codes of Germany's WorId War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayaI of a briIliant, compIicated man, The Imitation Game follows a genius who under naiI-biting pressure heIped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives. |
