Synopses

The Queen's Gambit

Sent to an orphanage at eight, Beth Harmon finds brief escape in chess and in the little green pills given to the children to keep them subdued. Her gift for the game quickly proves exceptional, carrying her towards the top of the US chess rankings and the possibility of a different life. Even as her success grows, an urge to self-destruct remains close at hand.

The Hustler

Fast Eddie Felson is known as a pool hustler with a fearsome reputation, but he wants more than small-time wins. Although his talent is clear, he discovers that ability alone is not enough to become a true winner. Travelling to Chicago, he takes on the legendary Minnesota Fats in a high-stakes match that stretches beyond forty hours, forcing him to confront his own failings.

The Color of Money

Twenty years after the defining contest between Eddie Felson and Minnesota Fats, Eddie’s career has shifted from stardom to exhibition matches for cable television. Determined to take one more serious run at the game, he returns with a failed marriage behind him and a new generation of competitors ahead. To succeed again, he must face his demons and find the will to win once more.
