Codebreaker, also known as Britain's Greatest Codebreaker, is a 2011 television docudrama aired on Channel 4 about the life of Alan Turing.The film had a limited release in the U.S. beginning on 17 October 2012.
The Enigma machines combined multiple levels of movable rotors and plug cables to produce a particularly complex polyalphabetic substitution cipher.. During World War I, inventors in several countries realised that a purely random key sequence, containing no repetitive pattern, would, in principle, make a polyalphabetic substitution cipher unbreakable.

Turingery [1] or Turing's method [2] (playfully dubbed Turingismus by Peter Ericsson, Peter Hilton and Donald Michie [3]) was a manual codebreaking method devised in July 1942 [4] by the mathematician and cryptanalyst Alan Turing at the British Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park during World War II.
The 10-metre (33-ft) by 10-metre artwork in the centre of the agency's doughnut-shaped headquarters depicts Turing inside the wheels of the "bombe" codebreaker machine that he designed.

Hut 8 was a section in the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park (the British World War II codebreaking station, located in Buckinghamshire) tasked with solving German naval (Kriegsmarine) Enigma messages. The section was led initially by Alan Turing. He was succeeded in November 1942 by his deputy, Hugh Alexander. Patrick ...
