Story: |
In the moving drama The Pursuit of Happyness, Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a
marginally employed salesman and a single father, struggling with the mother
(Thandie Newton) of his five-year-old son (Jaden Smith). When they are evicted
from their apartment, Gardner finds himself alone with his son in San Francisco
and no place to go. Even when Gardner lands an intern position at a prestigious
stock brokerage firm, it pays no money. Forced to live in shelters, enduring
many hardships as he goes through their program, Chris refuses to let this
dampen his spirits as he pursues his dream of security for himself and his
son.
