The Imitation Game is set to kick the BFI London Film Festival in style tonight with a whole host of the film's star to walk the red carpet.

The Imitation Game has already been one of the most talked about movies of the festival circuit this autumn, and now it is time of UK audiences to find out what all the fuss is about.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Mark Strong and Charles Dance are all set to attend in Leicester Square this evening, and you can see the arrivals and the interviews from 5.30pm.

The Imitation Game is set to be the biggest film role of Cumberbatch's career to date - he is already being tipped as a possible Best Actor Oscar contender.

The movie marks the return of Morten Tyldum to the director's chair for the first time since Headhunters, while Graham Moore has penned this riveting screenplay.

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 BFI London Film Festival runs from 8th - 19th October. The Imitation Game is released 14th November.
