Enigma (2001)

I’ve never been to war. I don’t respond well to authority. I don’t play well with others. But I recognize and understand the need for unity, discipline and respect for a command structure for a group to meet their goals. But it is hard to understand the need to sacrifice others for what is perceived as the greater good. Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott ) lays out the possibility of cracking new Nazi signal codes but the expense is the destruction of a convoy of some 140 merchant vessels and their crews. How big a human sacrifice is acceptable? Apparently it is hundreds if not thousands, if you don’t know their names or their families.
