The Imitation Game (2014) | During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst, and war hero Alan Turing to investigate a reported burglary. 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 o homosexuality - little did officials know, they were actually 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-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, 'The Imitation Game' follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war, and in turn, save thousands of lives.
