Chris Gardner is a San Francisco salesman struggling to build a future for himself and his 5-year-old son. When his girlfriend Linda walks out, Chris is left to raise Christopher on his own. Chris' determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker-training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With self-confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend.

Pursuit of Happyness submitted by SBNB on June 19, 2014, 6:54pm It’s a good, inspirational movie.

Intense! submitted by Xris on August 28, 2018, 11:48pm I worry some about possibly being homeless and this made it real for me. Will did such a great job with this movie, and his son, Jaden, was great too!

Heartfelt submitted by zslicks on July 27, 2019, 8:51am This movie based on a true story is an inspiring story of a struggling single father trying to make a good life for himself and his son. Will Smith puts on a fantastic performance and I totally recommend this movie for a feel-good pick me up if you ever need one. Wish there were more movies like this.
