The early 1960s. At the peak of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. Secret Service abducts a brilliant mathematician, Joshua Mansky (Bill Pullman). A forgotten genius with an alcohol problem, he is to take part in a chess match against Soviet grandmaster Gavrylov at an international tournament in the Warsaw Palace of Culture and Science. However, the event turns out to be a mere cover for a spy game. When allies turn out to be enemies and no one can be trusted, Mansky has to make a decisive move that may save humankind from a nuclear apocalypse.
