This biographical drama features Alan Turing-a brilliant mathematician who contributed a lot to cracking the Nazi Enigma during World War II. Benedict Cumberbatch stars in this film, which involves both the success and failure of Turing as a gay man in an era where discrimination was rampant. A very important perspective in the story is how the work of Turing formed the basis of modern computing. The movie received significant critical acclaim as it earned eight Academy Award nominations and won for Best Adapted Screenplay.
