THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS "inspired by a true story."

This story about a down-on-his-luck salesman who lives in a homeless shelter stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner. A single dad, Chris lives with his decidedly cute son named Christopher (Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, Will Smith's son). Early in the story, Chris's wife (Thandie Newton) leaves him, since she has lost all faith in him to ever make it.

As he tries to make a living selling bone density scanners, which look like portable sewing machines, Chris realizes that buying a room full of them from the manufacturer was one of his more foolish acts. The devices are almost unsaleable.

One day, Chris sees his future. It is as a rich stock broker. But to become one, he has to work in a long and completely unpaid intern program for Dean Witter. Although he makes money for the company, they don't pay him. And, at the end of the cut-throat program, only one person is offered a position, a real one with an actual salary.Along the way to success, Chris is thrown in jail for unpaid parking tickets. Once released the next morning, he runs to his interview.
