Norsk filminstitutt

Magnus er historien om annerledesgutten som valgte å gå sin egen vei og ble verdensmester i sjakk bare 22 år gammel. Filmen følger ham tett i alle avgjørende øyeblikk fra han gjør sine første sjakktrekk, til han vinner verdensmesterskapet i Chennai i 2013.

I 2004 satte Magnus Carlsen seg et mål; han skulle bli verdensmester i sjakk! Med over 500 timer med opptak, følger filmskaperne Magnus på hans reise helt fra han er liten, gjennom suksess og motgang, personlige ofre, vennskap og ikke minst en støttende familie. Filmen kommer tett på en av verdens mest intelligente mennesker, og vil fenge både et vanlig publikum og ikke minst de over 600 millionene som spiller sjakk over hele verden.
