I can't remember when I first knew about Turing, but I'd say probably pretty young via the Turing Test which pops up in a lot of SF. I was fascinated by the whole Bletchley Park thing from the first time I heard of it, which was in a British TV play which I can't remember the name of, but it focused on a woman recruited to work there.
I was kind of hoping to see Turing in his gas mask on his bike in the film as he used to wear that because of his hay fever while cycling about. But hey, they had him on a bike.
