Edwar Zwick (Blood Diamond, Love and Other Drugs) returns to the screen with the biography Pawn Sacrifice about the greatest American chess master Bobby Fisher, convincingly portrayed by Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man). All the paths of the film (read stories from childhood and youth) lead to the chess match of the century with the Russian Boris Spassky (Liev Schreiber).

He challenged the Soviet Union, and in the end, with a game that meant not only moving pieces on the chessboard, but also on the world chessboard, he ended 24-year Soviet dominance at the top of chess by winning against the world chess champion Boris Spassky.
