Benedict Cumberbatch’s poignant Alan Turing biopic has found a new streaming home in the UK.
Featuring Keira Knightley, “The Imitation Game,” directed by Morten Tyldum, narrates the tale of Alan Turing, a brilliant English mathematician who solved the codes of German military communications on behalf of the British government in World War II.
Currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video in the UK is an Academy Award-winning movie that delves into the private life of Alan Turing, a gay man, offering chilling perspectives on his arrest for indecency and the forced hormone treatment he underwent during a period when homosexuality was still illegal in the United Kingdom.
Knightley plays Joan Clarke, a codebreaker and Turing’s colleague on the Enigma project.
In the course of their interactions, they establish a bond and become engaged. However, later on, Turing ends this relationship and discloses that he is gay. Despite this, they continued to maintain a friendship until Turing took his own life.
The cast for the movie is completed with Matthew Goode from Dept Q playing the role of cryptanalyst Hugh Alexander, Mark Strong as the head of MI6, Stewart Menzies, and Charles Dance from Game of Thrones as Commander Alastair Denniston.

The film has been praised as both compelling and deeply emotional, with a rich texture, and a heartfelt homage to Turing by critics from The Hollywood Reporter, while Us Weekly describes it as a touching tribute.
