Though The Imitation Game was largely based on the biographyAlan Turing: The Enigma, much of Alan Turing’s life is shrouded in mystery. Turing, played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the film, is credited as the father of computer science. He cracked codes produced by the German military’s seemingly unbreakable Enigma machine during World War II using math, engineering and still-to-be-invented computer science. But most of the documents tracing his work for the British government have been destroyed and little is known about Turing’s personal life.
ESO students have watched this amazing film in Sitges this April. We have enjoyed with this great story and we had a different and interesting day.
