biographical

The Imitation Game draws on Alan Turing’s biography, written by Andrew Hodges, to tell the story of the important role the mathematician played during World War II. His research in cryptography made it possible to decipher several enemy messages, which some historians believe hastened the downfall of Nazism.

Leonardo DiCaprio is expected

Initially, Leonardo DiCaprio was supposed to play the role of Alan Turing. But shortly before the start of filming, he turned down the offer. A godsend for Benedict Cumberbatch, who inherited the lead role.

Exciting title

The choice of title comes from an article written by Alan Turing himself, found by screenwriter Graham Moore, in which he explained his method of differentiating machines from humans and thereby obtaining results about artificial intelligence. Mathematician tried to recreate human conversation with machines. He called it “the imitation game”, hence the name The Imitation Game.
