I also have no idea what movie you’re talking about. His machine though (really a model) is what we consider a computer in the modern sense: a machine that can calculate different algorithms on the same hardware by having separate inputs (described as tapes") for data and instructions. Basically with that instructions tape idea, he invented the very concept of “software”. In all modern computers, different parts of memory are analogous to these two tapes. They call him the “Father of Computer Science” for a reason.
And he did help crack codes in WW2, he was employed by the British government to do just that for the duration of the war and had a lot of success. He designed and helped build the first British Bombes which broke many enigma-encoded communications, and his research contributed to the Colossus, the first programmable computer.
