Alan Turing is a mathematician whose genius leads him to be enlisted in a major code-breaking scheme during World War II, where he is set the task of deciphering German secrets. Working strictly covertly at the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, he and his team study tirelessly in order to crack a complex Enigma that would allow them to win the war. To everyone's surprise, he begins building a machine which he insists will have the capability to interpret any Nazi Enigmas with it's ability to eliminate possible sequences with efficiency and speed. However, frequently scorned for his unconventional methods and later for his sexuality, he becomes the unsung hero of the War, saving millions of lives and bringing justice upon the world.
'The Imitation Game' is a tense historical drama based on the invaluable code-breaking work of mathematician, cryptanalyst and pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing during World War II; a man thought of by many as the Father of Theoretical Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. It has been directed by BAFTA nominee Morten Tyldum ('Headhunters', 'Fallen Angels', 'Buddy') and written by Graham Moore, and it is scheduled to hit UK cinema screens on November 14th 2014.
