Keira Knightley stars in a brand new character poster for The Imitation Game.

The Imitation Game has been one of the most talked about movies of the autumn, and is set to open the BFI London Film Festival today.

Knightley takes on the real life role of Joan Clarke in The Imitation Game, alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, Matthew Goode, Charles Dance, and Mark Strong.

The movie will reunite Knightley with Cumberbatch for the first time since the success of Atonement back in 2007.

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 the third film of the year for Knightley, after finding success with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and Begin Again.

It is also one of two movies that we will be seeing her star in this autumn, as she teams up with Sam Rockwell and Chloe Grace Moretz in Say When.

The Imitation Game is released 14th November.
