Over the next decade and a half, his breathtaking rise to the top echelon of the game riveted the world and inspired an international chess phenomenon. Then, at the apex of his success, Fischer disappeared from the public eye. The revealing new documentary, BOBBY FISCHER AGAINST THE WORLD, chronicles Fischer’s meteoric rise as well as his shocking withdrawal from competition and the madness that devastated much of his life. Directed by Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® winner Liz Garbus (HBO’s “Coma” and “Shouting Fire: Stories From The Edge of Free Speech”), BOBBY FISCHER AGAINST THE WORLD explores the complex life of the troubled genius whose charisma and talent spurred a worldwide fascination with the “game of kings.” Fischer’s evolution from his childhood to chess prodigy, global superstar, angry recluse and finally fugitive from the law is a spellbinding story of the making and unmaking of an American icon.
