Benedict Cumberbatch stars in The Imitation Game as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist, and computer scientist. The biopic tells the story of Turing, who during World War II led a team of brilliant code-breakers at Britain’s top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park. The group works to crack the German Enigma Code that helped Allies win WWII.
Having already received rave reviews and the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival, the film is already being mentioned as an Oscar contender for this year. The Imitation Game opens the BFI London Film Festival on October 8, and will be in cinemas nation-wide on November 14.
