A caption at the end states that cracking Enigma was kept secret by the government for fifty years after the war, and the history of wartime code-breaking was officially declassified in 1996. Notwithstanding the government's secrecy, the earliest book that revealed Enigma had been cracked, F.W. Winterbotham's The Ultra Secret, appeared in 1974, and Hugh Whitemore's play about Turing, Breaking the Code, was produced in 1986, so the basic facts were not a secret for the entire fifty years.

Quotes
[first lines]
Alan Turing:
Are you paying attention? Good. If you're not listening carefully you will miss things. Important things. I will not pause, I will not repeat myself, and you will not interrupt me. If you think that because you're sitting where you are and I am sitting where I am that you are in control of what is about to happen, you 're mistaken. I am in control, because I know things that you do not know.
