Full Plot Details

The highs and lows of Alan Turing's life, tracking his extraordinary accomplishments, his government persecution through to his tragic death in 1954. In the last 18 months of his short life, Turing visited a psychiatrist, Dr. Franz Greenbaum, who tried to help him. Each therapy session in this drama documentary is based on real events. The conversations between Turing and Greenbaum explore the pivotal moments in his controversial life and examine the pressures that may have contributed to his early death. The film also includes the testimony of people who actually knew and remember Turing. Plus, this film features interviews with contemporary experts from the world of technology and high science including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. These contributors bring Turing's exciting impact up to the present day, explaining why, in many ways, modern technology has only just begun to explore the potential of Turing's ideas.

Movie Reviews

Rage Monthly - 6/10 by Fr. Chris CarpenterExcellent and engrossing due in large part to the work of director Clare Beavan, editor Leigh Brzeski and actor Ed Stoppard.
User Review - 10/10 by Jean CFantastic archival footage and dramatization based on Turing's writings and people who knew him.
User Review - 10/10 by Barbara CI watched this documentary because I have always had a fascination about the code breakers of the German Enigma machines. I had little knowledge about the man Alan Turing other than knowing he was part of the code breaking team and that he had something to do with modern computers. The facts and information about his life and scientific achievements alone are reasons enough to watch this movie. To learn what happened to him post war is incredible. I left the movie emotionally upset and disturbed, thinking about how horrible creatures we can be as humans. I know it was a different time and people thought differently than today but this movie has stuck with me and in my thoughts long after viewing it. I highly recommend this movie for anyone interested in this man, his part in the advancement to the field of science and computers as well as anyone interested in the history of homosexuality.
User Review - 8/10 by Marissa HA MUST WATCH! Alan Turing was such a fantastic genius, who deserves 100x more credit than he gets. My heart just breaks when I think what the British Government did to him. I won't say anymore just incase you don't know Alan Turing's story. I think this film should be shown in all classrooms, especially in the UK.
User Review - 8/10 by Berni EInteresting to watch this drama/documentary which was made before The Imitation Game.
User Review - 8/10 by Jody MClear, cool, factual, and ultimately (for me) more persuasive than "The Imitation Game."
User Review - 8/10 by Gregory KA well told tragic story of a brilliant man.
User Review - 6/10 by Binku TWatched the documentary after watching The Imitation Game and several videos about Alan Turing. Acting in drama was so so, but it did give a description about Turing's unfortunate lifestory.
