During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burgIary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would Iead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality - little did officiaIs know, they were actuaIly incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing.
FamousIy Ieading a motley group of schoIars, linguists, chess champions and inteIIigence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayaI of a brilIiant, compIicated man, The lmitation Game foIIows a genius who under nail-biting pressure heIped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives. |
