ENIGMA tells the story of the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954). With his brilliant analytic mind, Turing had a gift for designing ‘intelligent’ machines. During World War II, he managed to break the Enigma code. The German air and naval forces used this code to secure all their communications. He shortened the war and saved many lives. His scientific contributions are still noticeable to this day. In the 1950s, Turing was arrested for homosexuality, a crime that was still actively prosecuted at the time. His death also remains a curious mystery.
