On Tuesday, November 11, 2014, the Museum hosted two visitors from the film, The Imitation Game, about English mathematician Alan Turing and breaking the Enigma code during World War II. The film is based on Andrew Hodges book, Alan Turing: The Enigma. The visitors were Graham Moore, screenwriter and executive producer, and Allen Leech (Tom Branson on Downton Abbey) who plays John Cairncross in the film. They sat down for an interview in front of our Enigma machine which, by the way, was featured in the December 1 Time Magazine Genius Issue with the film's star, Benedict Cumberbatch. We hope you enjoy the interview, but please be warned that there are several spoilers within....
