Actually, the name of the move was "Breaking the Code". It's an excellent movie made in Britain with Jacobi as Turning. It's based on the book "Alan Turing: The Enigma" by Andrew Hodges and the play by Hugh Whitemore.
Jacobi is definitely one of the most under rated actors living today, and his performance in "Breaking the Code" shows just how great he is. In movie he shows a man who really can think, unlike the shallow and unsatisfying performance Crowe gave in "A Beautiful Mind".
Turning, who was homosexual in Britain during a time when homosexuality was considered illegal. He was arrested, trailed and found guilty of gross indecency. His reward for breaking the Enigma machine and turning the tide of World War Two was to undergo sex drug therapy. Eventually Turning took his own life by eating an apple laced with cyanide, and his role in history is gradually being forgotten.
