The Imitation Game is a 2014 American historical drama film directed by Morten Tyldum

and written by Graham Moore, based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew
Hodges.
The movie stars Benedict Cumberbatch as British cryptanalyst Alan Turing and also Keira
Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance, and Mark Strong.
The movie is about Alan Turing, an English mathematician, and his activities during World
War II, when he was part of a top secret team trying to crack the German Enigma ciphers and
he succeeds, winning the war against the Nazi. A few years after he and his team won WWII,
Turing was arrested being homosexual, thing that was illegal in England at the time.
Eventually he recurred to suicide a few years after the war ended.
This movie isn’t about math, it's about the power of will, about imagination, and how brilliant
minds can change the outcome of a battle. The filmmaker is trying to present the story’s most
difficult parts, the horrors of war and the complexity of the Enigma code and its solution.
