That's the plot of the 80s movie The Last Starfighter

The Last Starfighter is a 1984 American space opera film directed by Nick Castle. The film tells the story of Alex Rogan (Lance Guest), a teenager who, after winning the high score in an arcade game that's secretly a simulation test, is recruited by an alien defense force to fight in an interstellar war.

Oh really? I’ve always heard about that movie but never seen it or looked up the plot.

It is also similar to Ender’s Game, in a way.
