It was called the Match of the Century.

Control the board with the new poster from Bleecker Street’s PAWN SACRIFICE.

In a gripping true story set during the height of the Cold War, American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire) finds himself caught between two superpowers when he challenges the Soviet Empire.

Also starring Liev Schreiber (Boris Spassky) and Peter Sarsgaard, PAWN SACRIFICE chronicles Fischer’s terrifying struggles with genius and madness, and the rise and fall of a kid from Brooklyn who captured the imagination of the world with the greatest chess match ever played.

The film had its world premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

Alex Billington of First Showing.net wrote, “There’s no better praise than to say I was fully engaged in Pawn Sacrifice from start to finish, fascinated by the politics and the sport, but also intrigued by Bobby Fischer and his peculiar mind.”

Ian Gilchrist of HeyUGuys.com said Tobey Maguire gives, “a riveting performance.”

Directed by Edward Zwick and written by Steven Knight, the upcoming thriller hits select theatres on Friday, September 18th.
