"The Imitation Game" is a 2014 historical drama film directed by Morten Tyldum. The movie is based on the biography "Alan Turing: The Enigma" by Andrew Hodges and follows the life of Alan Turing, a mathematician and logician who played a crucial role in breaking the German Enigma code during World War II.
Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, and the film portrays two timelines: one set during World War II, where Turing leads a team of codebreakers at Bletchley Park working to decrypt the Enigma code, and another set in the early 1950s when Turing faces legal consequences due to his homosexuality.
Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, and Mark Strong are also part of the cast. "The Imitation Game" received critical acclaim for its performances, particularly Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of Turing, and its exploration of important historical and social issues. The film won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and it was nominated for several other awards, including Best Picture.
