Description
Derek Jacobi takes on the role of Alan Turing in this exceptional biographical drama about a man who broke too many codes.
Alan Turing, an eccentric genius, played a major role in winning World War II by breaking the complex German code called Enigma. However, his work was classified top secret for years after the war, leaving it unknown how much he contributed to the Allied victory.
Turing's achievements were put to the test when he was put on trial for breaking another code, known as the "tab". This drama tells the story of a man who defied conventions and pushed the boundaries of cryptography, raising questions about loyalty, identity, and justice.
