Benedict Cumberbatch and Kiera Knightley (who was also at TIFF for her film Laggies) had a great time greeting fans at The Imitation Game gala last night in Toronto. The film stars Benedict as Alan Turing, who while attending Cambridge University, came up with theories about the new computing machine technology. War between Britain and Germany is declared and his theories are attempted. Alan becomes the leader of a top-secret group assigned to decode German communications any way possible, including using the computing machines. A woman called Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley) joins the secret group and becomes engaged to Alan, who was gay, which at the time was illegal and subject to punishment.
