Watch it tonight if you're hungry for a tense Cold War drama with strong performances—the scores are solid enough and the chess-match-as-geopolitical-thriller concept is genuinely gripping. Just don't expect a masterpiece; it's a well-crafted but conventional biopic that hits the expected beats without breaking new ground.

Plot

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