The structural frame of the prototype Bombe built by Turing in this movie appears to be constructed from a shelving/storage system called Dexion. Whilst Dexion was first invented in 1939, its inventor was not able to obtain the resources for manufacturing until after WW2. Dexion was not available as an "off the shelf" product until 1948 at the earliest. See more »

This is THE movie for anyone who wants to learn about the birth of all modern computing and cryptography. It also provides a deep commentary on the ignorance of people who hate those who do not fit in. I wish the film could have gone into more detail about Alan Turing after the war when his deepest personal struggles were in full force. However, for a theatrical film it would have been far too long. This film illustrates how far we have come as a society in terms of accepting gay and lesbians and their contributions to society. I will not spoil the film but for the cypherpunks out there you will be a little uneasy if you compare the MI-6 tactics to those of today's NSA and other three letter agencies that spy on our every digital move. All in all a brilliant film with great actors that will move your hearts and minds.
