Description
In May 1997 Garry Kasparov, widely regarded as the greatest chess player the world has ever seen, agreed to challenge Deep Blue - a hulking one and a half tonne supercomputer. Played out in front of the ranks of the world's media, this was a chess tournament and scientific experiment that would stun the world.
Directed by multi-award winning filmmaker Vikram Jayanti (James Ellroy's Feast of Death, The Man Who Bought Mustique), Game Over takes us on a gripping cinematic odyssey into the paranoid mindscape of a legendary chess genius, as Kasparov battles to come to terms with the machine - and the men - from IBM.
An Alliance Atlantis and National Film Board of Canada production. A World Documentary Fund film - an Initiative of the UK Film Council New Cinema Fund, The National Film Board of Canada and the BBC with the assistance of Movie Central, a Corus Entertainment Company.
