Directed by Morten Tyldum (Headhunters) and based on the book Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges, The Imitation Game will be arriving in theaters on November 28, 2014.

The Plot:

In The Imitation Game, Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist who led the charge to crack the German Enigma Code that helped the Allies win WWII. Turing went on to assist with the development of computers at the University of Manchester after the war, but was prosecuted by the UK government in 1952 for homosexual acts which the country deemed illegal.
