The imitation game [video recording (DVD)] / The Weinstein Company presents ; a Black Bear production ; a Bristol Automotive production ; produced by Nora Grossman, Ido Ostrowsky, Teddy Schwarzman ; written by Graham Moore ; directed by Morten Tyldum.
"During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing to investigate a reported burglary. Instead, they 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" is about a genius who, under nail-biting pressure, helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives." -- Provided by the Publisher.
