Alan Turing's biopic 'The Imitation Game' has won the People's Choice award at the Toronto Film Festival.
The drama about the British code breaker who helped decrypt the Enigma machine during World War Two stars 'Sherlock' star Benedict Cumberbatch, the BBC reported.
Director Morten Tyldum said that it was "an amazing honour" to win the prize and for film fans to support the Imitation Game means a lot to him, the entire cast and film-making team.
Turing was credited with bringing about the end of the war and saving hundreds of thousands of lives after decoding German Naval messages and is also considered to be the founding father of the modern-day computer.
