Imitation Game wins Toronto top prize (BBC) {Alan Turing biopic}
By Genevieve Hassan
Entertainment reporter, BBC News
Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game has won the People's Choice award at the Toronto Film Festival.
Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch stars in the drama about the British code breaker who helped decrypt the Enigma machine during World War Two.
In a message, director Morten Tyldum said it was "an amazing honour" to win the prize.
"For film fans to support the Imitation Game means so much to me, the entire cast and film-making team," he said.
Turing was credited with bringing about the end of the war and saving hundreds of thousands of lives after decoding German Naval messages.
