Synopsis
Alan Turing sits with his psychiatrist, Dr. Franz Greenbaum, in October 1952, after being convicted of 'gross indecency'. Their conversation shifts between Turing's childhood, his mathematical achievements, and his wartime contributions, including breaking the German Enigma Code during World War II. Turing's life changes drastically after his conviction, leading to hormonal treatment instead of prison. On 8 June 1954, Turing is found dead at age 41, with cyanide poisoning listed as the cause.
