The Imitation Game

Benedict Cumberbatch plays Alan Turing and teaches us about the early years of computation and code breaking with the Enigma machine. Turns out being able to predict your opponents moves makes a big deal in war and was able to give the Allies the victory in the end. The movie also peers in to, though subtly, the fact that Turing was a homosexual. He was treated very poorly by the British even though he also helped win the war.
