- Chris Gardner (Will Smith) is a brilliant and talented salesman, but his job does not allow him to meet his most basic needs. So much so that he and his five-year-old son (Jaden Smith) end up getting kicked out of their San Francisco apartment, and the two have nowhere to go. When Gardner manages to get an internship at a prestigious brokerage firm, the two protagonists will have to face many adversities to realize their dream of a better life.
