Why watch this?
This engrossing story is based on the life of brilliant cryptographer Alan
Turing.
Plot Summary:
Mathematician Alan Turing and his team of codebreakers work for
Britain's top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at
Bletchley Park during World War II. Facing the seemingly
unbreakable Nazi Enigma machine, Turing attempts to build a
device that can decipher its messages.

Dad's Preview:
Alan Turing was a genius. He was also gay in England in the
1930's. This results in a painful personal life, yet
professionally he was asked to work on breaking the most famous
code in history: Germany's Enigma Code. Cumberbatch is
remarkable in this must-see historical drama. The real Alan
Turing was mercilessly persecuted and prosecuted by the British
government for his "illegal" sexual orientation. He took his own life at
age 41. |
