Goodness, memory plays funny tricks. Didn't seem like NOVA's Decoding Nazi Secrets series was that long ago: broadcast back in 1999. I was actually pondering if this movie had been inspired by it (forget that). There were also a lot more scattered cryptanalysis projects going on with respect to the Enigma machines than I realized.

Turing's prophecy:
“It seems probable that once the machine thinking method had started, it would not take long to outstrip our feeble powers… They would be able to converse with each other to sharpen their wits. At some stage therefore, we should have to expect the machines to take control.”
― Alan Turing 1912-1954
