Brilliant but eccentric mathematician Alan Turing and a team of code-breakers race against time to turn the tide of World War II by doing the impossible: decrypt the Nazi communications code.

It’s seems to me that if the abdication is an inciting incident, it does indeed “shake up his world”, in that it sets up the supreme crisis, when Bertie is ?forced to confront his stammer head on. He’s been wrestling with it for years, now he must rise to the occasion, to the supreme crisis in his life and in the history of Great Britain with ?a radio address. ?He will either succeed or suffer humiliation and failure before an worldwide audience of millions.
But ?technically, it’s not the inciting incident for his struggle to overcome his stammer. ?The scripted story begins in media res in terms of ?his personal problem. ?He’s been struggling to overcome his stammer all his life. The inciting incident occurs when Bertie’s wife, Princess Elizabeth, solicits the help of Lionel Logue, a speech therapist. to do what no one else has been able to do. ?
Your?version puts the spotlight (and rightly so!) on the stakes, what gives the story its historical and dramatic import. ?He must achieve a personal victory in order to to rally the English people to ?national victory over?Nazi Germany.
