Archival footage and newly released materials trace the birth of cryptanalysis, the science of breaking codes.

SWING KIDS (1993)
w/ Christian Bale & Barbara Hershey.

A group resists Nazism by to big band jazz. SWING KIDS (PG-13) Though it takes off from actual accounts of German teenagers who rebelled against the Nazis through their love of big-band jazz, most of this somber, smoothly crafted drama has nothing to do with swing. Set in 1939, it's about a wily adolescent, Peter (Robert Sean Leonard), who watches in horror as everyone he knows turns into a brainwashed Third Reich partisan.

THE CODEBREAKERS
A Marine uses a cylindrical
coding device during WWII.
An examination of how the deciphering of secret
messages has shaped major events of the 20th
century.
Archival footage and newly released materials
trace the birth of cryptanalysis, the science of
breaking codes. Historians and early codebreak-
ers recall how America's entry into World War I
was precipitated by a British-decoded German
telegram; and how the U.S. soon began code-
breaking ventures of its own. A review of code-
breaking during World War II illustrates how in-
formation from unscrambled messages proved
vital to a number of Allied victories, including the
Battle of Midway, generally considered to be the
turning point of the war in the Pacific. (1:00)
