The film follows the efforts of scientist Alan Turing (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) and his associates in breaking a code used by the German army during World War II.

As could have been expected, the movie has reignited disputes on who actually cracked the cyphers.

Poles have complained for decades about the lack of international recognition of the contribution by Polish cryptographers in breaking the Enigma code.
