Will Smith delivers a "perfectly pitched performance (Ethan Alter, Film Journal International)" in this moving tale inspired by the true story of Chris Gardner - a San Francisco salesman who went from living on the streets to working on Wall Street.

After his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out on him, Chris is forced to raise his 5 year-old son (Jaden Smith) on his own. But without a real income, life brings on a whole new series of challenges for him. Now, with the love and trust of his son and with newly imbrued self-confidence, Chris must rise above his obstacles to build a new future for himself and his son.

Inspirational, heart-warming and poignant, The Pursuit of Happyness is an "astoundingly powerful rags-to-riches tale" that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
