Will Smith stars in this touching story inspired by the true tale of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman struggling to build a future for himself and his 5-year-old son Christopher. When his girlfriend Linda walks out, Chris is left to raise Christopher on his own. Chris' willpower at last pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a viciously spirited stockbroker-training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a wage, Chris and his son are turned out from their residence and are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With assurance and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend.
