二次世界大戰期間,德軍研發出無法破解的通訊加密裝置「恩尼格瑪」,可將所有機密轉換成亂碼發送出去,全世界如臨大敵…。天才數學家艾倫圖靈(班奈迪克康柏拜區飾)奉命協助英國政府破解「恩尼格瑪」。他率領瓊克拉克(綺拉奈特莉飾)等百位頂尖解密專家,面對一台從德國偷來的恩尼格瑪密碼機,試圖用人工聽譯出亂碼中的情報。艾倫秘密將瓊克拉克編入團隊,冒著被逮捕的危險將恩尼格瑪訊息交給她分析。但英軍對這群菁英交不出成果愈來愈心急,並打算關閉機器中止任務。就在瓊克拉克揚言回家情急之際,圖靈向克拉克求婚,只為了讓她免於因私下攔截恩尼格瑪訊息受到審查。時間迫在眉際,艾倫決定創造另一台會思考的電算機,能夠自動判別訊息的思考反擊,從成千上萬種組合中的找出正確含義,有如一場真人與機器間的「模仿遊戲」。艾倫組員從德軍攔截到無數訊息中,經過無數挫折,最終成功研發出破解裝置,破解了史上最難的謎,及時拯救各國無數性命!但同時,英軍卻懷疑艾倫從事間諜活動,並發現他最深不可告人的秘密…。一個扭轉戰爭的天才,如何解救自身的危機?During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality - little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, THE IMITATION GAME follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives.
