There is just over a week to go until The Imitation Game hits the big screen, and it is set to be one of the must see dramas of the autumn, as Benedict Cumberbatch returns to the big screen.

The Imitation Game

It has already been a busy film year for Cumberbatch with the likes if 12 Years a Slave and August: Osage County under his belt, but The Imitation Game is set to be the biggest film role of his career to date as he takes on the central role of Alan Turing.

The World War II drama brings together a terrific cast as Cumberbatch is joined by Keira Knightley, Mark Strong, and Charles Dance, while Morten Tyldum is back in the director's chair.

We have already been treated to one great clip this week and now we have another to share with you:

The Imitation Game is a nail-biting race against time following Alan Turing (pioneer of modern-day computing and credited with cracking the German Enigma code) and his brilliant team at Britain's top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II.

Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war, saving thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British establishment, but his work and legacy live on.

The Imitation Game is a movie that has been winning over critics and audiences on the festival circuit in recent weeks, and is set to be a major player during the awards season at the beginning of next year.

Could we see Cumberbatch in the Oscar race for the first time? His central performance as Alan Turing is already being tipped as a possible Oscar contender - and we all know how much the Academy loves a biopic performance and film.

The Imitation Game is released 14th November.
