二战期间，盟军苦于德国的秘密系统”英格玛“无法破译，政府召集了一批民间数学家、逻辑学家进行秘密破解工作，图灵（本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇 Benedict Cumberbatch 饰）就是其中之一。计划刚开始图灵遭到了以休（马修·古迪 Matthew Goode）为首的组员和领导的排斥，幸好军情处部长孟席斯（马克·斯特朗 Mark Strong 饰）帮助他立项研究破译密码的机器，而图灵则变成了负责人，招收了新的成员琼（凯拉·奈特莉 Keira Knightley）开始了艰难的工作。琼很快就迷上了图灵，由于她的帮助所有组员空前的团结，并于两年后成功破解德军的密码。图灵一度与琼订婚，但实际上他隐瞒了一个秘密，因为这个秘密他也遭受了非人的待遇……
本片改编自安德鲁·霍奇斯编著的《艾伦·图灵传》，上映后获得了第87届奥斯卡最佳改编剧本奖。

阿兰·图灵（Alan Turing）这个名字无论是在计算机领域、数学领域、人工智能领域还是哲学、逻辑学等领域，都可谓“掷地有声”。图灵是计算机逻辑的奠基者，许多人工智能的重要方法也源自这位伟大的科学家。他在24岁时提出了图灵机理论，31岁参与了Colossus（二战时，英国破解德国通讯密码的计算机）的研制，33岁时构思了仿真系统，35岁提出自动程序设计概念，38岁设计了“图灵测试”，在后来还创造了一门新学科—非线性力学。虽然图灵去世时只有42岁，但在其短暂而离奇的生涯中的那些科技成就，已让后人享用不尽。人们仰望着这位伟大的英国科学家，把“计算机之父”、“人工智能之父”、“破译之父”等等头衔都加冕在了他身上，甚至认为，他在技术上的贡献及对未来世界的影响几乎可与牛顿、爱因斯坦等巨人比肩。

The highs and lows of Alan Turing's life, tracking his extraordinary accomplishments, his government persecution through to his tragic death in 1954. In the last 18 months of his short life, Turing visited a psychiatrist, Dr. Franz Greenbaum, who tried to help him. Each therapy session in this drama documentary is based on real events. The conversations between Turing and Greenbaum explore the pivotal moments in his controversial life and examine the pressures that may have contributed to his early death. The film also includes the testimony of people who actually knew and remember Turing. Plus, this film features interviews with contemporary experts from the world of technology and high science including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. These contributors bring Turing's exciting impact up to the present day, explaining why, in many ways, modern technology has only just begun to explore the potential of Turing's ideas. —— from IMDB
