If you’ve been searching for a “stand-up-and-cheer movie” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), a film “not only to enjoy but to cherish” (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times), look no further – you’ve found Searching for Bobby Fischer. Josh Waitzkin (Max Pomeranc) is a typical seven-year-old who happens to be a chess prodigy. Joe Mantegna stars as Josh’s Father, a sportswriter determined to see his son become a champion.

Laurence Fishburne and Ben Kingsley deliver powerful supporting performances in this uplifting film that’s rich with all the promise and wonder of life.

the mythical kid chess prodigy we've all heard of has to struggle with very conflicting adult views of what it takes and what it means to be a winner..if you like really happy endings (sniff) this one plays out as if it were composed for the game.
