A romantic thriller steeped in the tense atmosphere of wartime Britain, this suspenseful drama centers on the mysteries of WWII cryptography while telling a tale of love, patriotism, obsession and betrayal. Enigma takes you inside Station X, one of the most secret places at Bletchley Park; famed birthplace of the Computer Age and the scene of some of the most brilliant code breaking of all time. In March 1943, the best minds in England have gathered at Bletchley Park and face their worst nightmare: the Nazis have changed the code key for the Enigma machine! Since they're unable to monitor the Nazi U-boats' communication, the clock is ticking for an allied convoy crossing the Atlantic with 10,000 passengers and vital supplies. Allied command looks for help from Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott), a brilliant young mathematician and code breaker. Unknown to his colleagues, Jericho has another equally baffling enigma of his own to unravel: Claire (Saffron Burrows), the woman he's obsessed with, has disappeared just when authorities suspect there may be a spy at the Park. To get to the bottom of both mysteries, Jericho enlists the help of Hester (Kate Winslet), Claire's best friend and co-worker at Bletchley. Together they keep one step ahead of secret services agent Wigram (Jeremy Northam), to reach a conclusion that uncovers both international and personal betrayals. -- © 2002 Manhattan Pictures International [More]

Buy or rent the only the fantastic Special Edition DVD. The original DVD release has no extras and one of the worst digital transfers I've ever seen.

Kate Winslet may not look her best in this picture, but her performance and that of Dougray Scott’s are enough to make this film a worthwhile investment of two hours...
