About the production

A biographical drama about the eccentric genius Alan Turing, whose work breaking the Enigma code played a major role in the Allied war effort.

His work remained classified for years. When Turing was prosecuted for homosexuality, few knew how much was owed to him. Breaking the Code explores who he was, what happened to him and why.
