Pawn Sacrifice

During the height of the Cold War, American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer finds himself caught between two superpowers when he challenges the Soviet Empire.

During the Cold War, chess grandmaster Bobbie Fischer takes on Boris Spassky, the Soviet world champion. Though Fischer wants a normal match against his rival, the United States wants it to be seen as the Cold War played out on the chess board. All of this isn’t helping the fact that Fischer is constantly dealing with paranoia. This is the world of chess like you’ve never seen it before.
