Set during the Cold War, American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer finds himself caught between two superpowers and his own struggles as he challenges the Soviet Empire.
I was around and actually remember the world’s interest in Bobby Fischer. Personally, I can’t wait to see this, and I think Toby McGuire looks like a good candidate for the role.
Seeing release dates of Sept 16 and Sept 25. Watch for it if interested.
