The Imitation Game

During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH – Sherlock, Hawking) 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 of 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 millions of lives.

The Imitation Game received eight Academy Award nominations 2014 including, Best Picture, Best Actor- BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, Best Supporting Actress- KEIRA KNIGHTLEY (Begin Again, Atonement) Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Product Design, Best Director- MORTEN TYLDUM (Head Hunters, Buddy) and Best Film Editing.
