The Imitation Game

Overview

Every single day, the enemy changes the code. Every single day, lives depend on someone cracking it. At Bletchley Park in World War II, that someone is Alan Turing, played by Benedict Cumberbatch as a genius who is also, let's be honest, a nightmare to work with — stubborn, awkward, and convinced his machine, the Christopher, can do what no human brain can. The race to break Enigma is tense enough on its own. What wrecks you is what comes after: the country Turing helped save turned around and punished him for being gay. That's the part that sticks. A story about brains, secrets, and being different in a world that refused to make room for it. You'll be angry by the end. You should be.
