CODEBREAKER re-counts the story of this maverick British genius, Alan Turing, who was crucial to founding three fields of science as well as breaking the Nazi's naval Enigma code during World War II. Historians credit his code breaking with helping to shorten the way by two years and saving millions of lives.
