About this movie

Life of a King is the true story of one man's inspiring mission to better the future of inner-city youth in Washington, D.C. After being incarcerated for 18 years, Eugene Brown (Academy Award®-winner Cuba Gooding Jr.) established the Big Chair Chess Club to help pull kids off the streets. Using the simple chess-inspired motto 'think before you move,' Brown helped give troubled students something that he never had: a future.

Ratings and reviews

If you're feeling down in the dumps because is not treating you so kind right now then this is tomorrow that you should see to gain some inspiration to see me what others go through in their lives as well.

Great movie to display the good values of life. Life lesson is a hard thing to come by with all the new typical movie titles coming out. Would recommend this to anyone wishing to give it a go. 5/5

A "feel good" movie. Cuba was AWESOME as always! I love the game of chess and since this was based on a true story, that made it even more likable!
