Description
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 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.
2015 Oscar winner for: Best Adapted Screenplay. Also nominated for Best Motion Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Editing, Best Production Design, Best Musical Score
