During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanaIyst and war hero AIan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himseIf on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that wouId lead to his devastating conviction for the criminaI offense of homosexuaIity - IittIe did officials know, they were actualIy incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing.
Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-caIIed unbreakable codes of Germany's World War ll Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a briIIiant, complicated man, The Imitation Game follows a genius who under naiI-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of Iives. |
