Hi,
Turing was one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century, no question. He does not get the recognition he deserves, his story won't be done, I suspect. That whole group was quite remarkable, and I suspect getting an appreciation of the magnitude of their accomplishment is not only beyond a movie, I am not sure there is a single book that relates just how pivotal their role was (the Turing machine theory was developed at this time, as a result, and is a theoretical underpinning of modern computers).Don't know if the film dwelled on the burden this device placed on Chruchill; but as valuable as it was, protecting
it came at a terrible cost.
