The Imitation Game is a 2014 American period biographical thriller film directed by Morten Tyldum and written by Graham Moore, based on the 1983 biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges.

The film's title quotes the name of the game cryptanalyst Alan Turing proposed for answering the question "Can machines think?", in his 1950 seminal paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence". The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing, who decrypted German intelligence messages for the British government during World War II. Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance, and Mark Strong appear in supporting roles.

It always makes me cry at the end. How no one cared about his contributions to the war, how he'd literally made it possible for the Allies to win it. No, all they cared about was who he had relations with. Was that the society he'd fought to defend? A world where he wasn't welcome? How do people like Turing defend their own country, knowing that they have to hide themselves in order to live in it peacefully? And that it took till freaking 2013 for him to receive a pardon for something that should never have been a crime. Not to mention he didn't gain notice for his contributions till then either. I wonder how he'd feel today, knowing that now we look back at that time and honor him.
