The role of pioneering British computer scientist Alan Turing played by Benedict Cumberbatch is simply formidable.

What may never be fully understood is that Turing's contributions in the field of cryptography helped to make World War II last much shorter than expected.

However, Alan Turing was at the time accused and tried for his homosexuality, leading to his suicide in 1952.

Fortunately not long ago in 2013, Queen Elizabeth II issued an edict officially exonerating him of all charges against him, albeit posthumously.

Greetings @pitboy, very good review.
