In Reply to: "The Imitation Game:" the story of Alan Turing, a candidate for inventor of the modern computer, posted by tinear on December 28, 2014 at 16:57:00:
I mentioned it earlier, the docu-drama, very well made.
Also you might want to read on the history of the Enigma code breaking - it started much earlier, and a Polish guy did it years before the British, albeit for a simpler, earlier Enigma machine. So it was not one man's sudden revelation, but Turing's contribution was of course quite significant.
