It’s the opening night of the BFI London Film Festival and kicking things off is a gala screening of The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as gay computing pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing.
Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Mark Strong and Charles Dance, should all be at the European Premiere in London’s Leicester Square.
Here’s the film’s synopsis: The Imitation Game is a nail-biting race against time following Alan Turing (pioneer of modern-day computing and credited with cracking the German Enigma code) and his brilliant team at Britain’s top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II. Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war, saving thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British establishment, but his work and legacy live on.
