Durante el invierno de 1952, las autoridades británicas entraron en el hogar del matemático, analista y héroe de guerra Alan Turing, con la intención de investigar la denuncia de un robo. Al final acabaron arrestando a Turing acusándole de “indecencia grave”, un cargo que le supondría una devastadora condena por una ofensa criminal, ser homosexual. Los oficiales no tenían ni idea de que en realidad estaban incriminando al pionero de la informática actual. Liderando a un heterogéneo grupo de académicos, lingüistas, campeones de ajedrez y oficiales de inteligencia, se le conoce por haber descifrado el código de la inquebrantable máquina Enigma de los alemanes durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Segunda Guerra Mundial. Inglaterra, 1943. Los descifradores de códigos de Betchley Park, sede de los servicios secretos británicos, se enfrentan a su peor pesadilla: inesperadamente, los submarinos nazis han cambiado el código que utilizan para comunicarse entre sí y con el alto mando alemán. Un convoy de barcos aliados que cruza el Atlántico con diez mil pasajeros e importantes suministros corre el peligro de ser atacado. Las autoridades recurren a Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott), un brillante matemático, experto descifrador de códigos y creador de la máquina Enigma. Pero Jericho tiene que resolver un problema personal: la desaparición de Claire (Saffron Burrows), la mujer de la que está enamorado, precisamente cuando se empieza a sospechar que puede haber un espía en Bletchley Park. Para llegar al fondo de ambos misterios, Jericho contará con la ayuda de la mejor amiga de Claire
Alan Turing is the genius British mathematician who was instrumental in breaking the German naval Enigma Code during World War II, arguably saving millions of lives. Turing's achievements went unrecognised during his lifetime. Instead he ended up being treated as a common criminal, for being homosexual at a time when homosexual acts were a crime. In 1952, he was convicted of 'gross indecency' with another man and was forced to undergo so-called 'organo-therapy' - chemical castration. Two years later, he killed himself with cyanide, aged just 41. Alan Turing was driven to a terrible despair and early death by the nation he'd done so much to save.
Norwegian researcher Petter Amundsen claims to have deciphered a secret code hidden in legendary playwright William Shakespeare's works that reveals a map leading to the location of certain treasures. British Shakespearean scholar Robert Crumpton embarks on a mission to prove he is spectacularly wrong. (A remake of “Shakespeare: The Hidden Truth,” including new discoveries.)
Someone in India is deciphering secret codes and passing information from London's Downing Street to the natives, so Captain Robert Kent comes down from London to investigate. He disguises himself as a Rajah, and Colonel Wentworth introduces him to the colony.
Was the legendary playwright William Shakespeare really the author of his acclaimed plays? Or was he just a straw man working for a secret society? Norwegian organist and researcher Petter Amundsen claims to have a solid theory on the subject. Shakespearean scholar Robert Crumpton decides to travel to Norway to meet him.
