The rousing, true-life story of a single dad who went from living on the streets to owning his own brokerage firm is brought to the big screen by superstar
Will Smith, appearing for the first time opposite his real-life son
Jaden Smith. Set in early-'80s San Francisco, the film charts the hard times and eventual comeback of
Chris Gardner, a suddenly single salesman who has custody of his son, but finds that providing for the two of them is a challenge in the increasingly unstable economic climate. He struggles to work his way from unpaid intern at Dean Witter to something more substantial, even as life continues to offer him setbacks. Making his Hollywood debut, Italian director
Gabriele Muccino was championed by
Will Smith for the project. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
