Benedict Cumberbatch has played an iconic role of Alan Turning as a great mathematician and scholar in 'The Imitation Game'. It has been reported that this film was posted on December 24 on a social website.

Alan is shown as a great mathematician who cracked Nazi Germany's Enigma code at the time of World War II. His marvelous research and design has paved new ways for development of future ideas in the field of computer science.

In the movie, Turning was criminally prosecuted for his homosexuality and sentenced to chemical castration. He committed suicide and died at an age of 42. It has been reported that the Alan was given a posthumous Royal Pardon many decades after his death. This scientist was convicted for consensual sexual relationship with other men in 1952.

The British government apologized for the threatening condition faced by the Alan in his lifetime. This British historical movie has been expected to release in 2014. Keira Knightley, Mark Strong, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance, Allen Leech and Matthew Beard all have supported the launch of this film on a social website.

Peter Tatchell, British human rights campaigner, said: "Everyone should be equal under the law. It's wrong to give famous privileged pardons".
