Plot:
When Britain declares war on Germany in 1939, Alan Turing travels to Bletchley Park. Under the direction of Commander , he joins the cryptography team of , , , Keith Furman and Charles Richards. The team are the , which the Nazis use to send coded messages.
Turing is difficult to work with, and considers his colleagues inferior; he works alone to design to decipher Enigma messages. After Denniston refuses to fund construction of the machine, Turing writes to Prime Minister , who puts Turing in charge of the team and funds the machine.
Turing’s machine, which he names Christopher, is constructed, but cannot determine the Enigma encryption settings quickly enough; the Germans reset them each day. Denniston orders it to be destroyed and Turing fired, but the other cryptographers threaten to leave if Turing goes.
After overhearing a conversation with a female clerk about messages she receives, Turing has an , realizing he can program the machine to decode words he already knows exist in certain messages. After he recalibrates the machine, it quickly decodes a message and the cryptographers celebrate. Turing realizes they cannot act on every decoded message or the Germans will realize Enigma has been broken.
