Il segreto di Thomas (2003)
Nella speranza di intrappolare Maria von Gall, che gestisce una coraggiosa ferrovia sotterranea per gli ebrei in Francia, i nazisti rapiscono suo figlio Thomas, un brillante maestro di scacchi di 11 anni. Un accordo di scambio va storto ed egli la vede morire sotto una pioggia di proiettili; ma viene salvato dal padre americano, che non ha mai incontrato prima, e che progetta di fuggire con lui in Spagna. Tuttavia, la regina Maria aveva solennemente affidato al suo piccolo pedone Thomas un prezioso segreto e una missione terrificante, e per lui era giunto il momento di muoversi. Un pedone può diventare un pezzo importante avanzando lentamente e silenziosamente tra le file del nemico. Oppure può morire nel tentativo. La ritirata è ciò che un pedone non può mai fare.
