Overview
The story of the WWII project to crack the code behind the Enigma machine, used by the Germans to encrypt messages sent to their submarines.
This movie was a tight little thriller. While I enjoyed the movie I had a hard time with the fact that it was a very fictional story with very fictional people based on true events. However, there were actual people that lived the story and were heroes – why not tell their story? It didn’t take away from the enjoyment but I kept going back to that question. In subsequent years better movies were made about Allen Turing.
