Pawn Sacrifice is a 2015 biographical drama film directed by Edward Zwick and written by Steven Knight. It stars Tobey Maguire as Bobby Fischer, the American chess grandmaster and world champion, along with Liev Schreiber, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbarg, Lily Rabe, and Robin Weigert.
The film follows Fischer’s rise to fame and his historic 1972 World Chess Championship match against the Soviet Union’s Boris Spassky, played in ReykjavÃk, Iceland. Through the match, Fischer must overcome his own psychological demons, as well as the intense pressure of the Cold War and the KGB, in order to prove himself as the greatest chess player of all time.

Despite his fears, Fischer agrees and travels to ReykjavÃk to face the Soviet champion. As the match progresses, Fischer’s mental state deteriorates, and the pressure of the Cold War intensifies.
