The Imitation Game (12A)

The Imitation Game is a dramatic portrayal of the life and work of the pioneer of modern-day computing, Alan Turing. The film follows a nail-biting race against time by Turing and his brilliant team at Britain's top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II. One of Britain's most extraordinary unsung heroes, Turing is credited with cracking the German Enigma code, significantly shortening the war and saving thousands of lives. Convicted for an outdated criminal offence, Turing was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British Establishment, but his work and legacy live on. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek Into Darkness, Sherlock) and Keira Knightley (Atonement) as close friend and fellow code breaker Joan Clarke. Runt time 114 minutes.
