The cracking of the German Enigma codes during World War Two forms the background to this top-flight spy thriller. It stars Dougray Scott as a brilliant decoder at the top-secret Bletchley Park intelligence centre who's been on a month's sick leave following a nervous breakdown. He's heartbroken over the disappearance of his colleague and former sweetheart, Saffron Burrows, and is soon engaged in a fiendish game of cat-and-mouse as he tries to find out what happened. Kate Winslet is the cipher clerk he gets to help him and Jeremy Northam the spy catcher watching them.
