Pursuit of Happyness
 
In 1981, San Francisco salesman  Chris Gardner invests his
entire life savings in portable bone density scanners, which he
demonstrates to doctors and pitches as a handy quantum leap
over standard X-rays. The scanners play a vital role in Chris' life.
While he is able to sell most of them, the time lag between the
sales and his growing financial demands enrage his already bitter
and alienated wife Linda, who works as a hotel maid. The financial
instability increasingly erodes their marriage, in spite of them
caring for Christopher Jr., their soon-to-be five-year-old son.
While Gardner is trying to sell one of the scanners, he meets Jay
Twistle, a manager for Dean Witter Reynolds, and impresses him
by solving a Rubik's Cube during a taxi ride. After Jay leaves,
Gardner lacks money to pay the fare, and chooses to run instead,
causing the driver to angrily chase him into a BART station.
Gardner boards a train but loses one of his scanners in the
process. His new relationship with Jay earns him the chance to
become an intern stockbroker. The day before the interview,
Gardner grudgingly agrees to paint his apartment so as to
postpone being evicted due to his difficulty in paying the rent.
While painting, Gardner is greeted by two policemen at his
doorstep, who take him to the station, stating he has to pay for his
numerous parking tickets he has accumulated. As part of the
sanction, Gardner is ordered to spend the night in jail instead,
complicating his schedule for the interview the next morning. He
manages to arrive at Dean Witter's office on time, albeit still in his
shabby clothes. Despite his appearance, he impresses the
interviewers, and lands an unpaid internship. He would be
3

amongst 20 interns competing for a paid position as a

stockbroker.
Gardner's unpaid internship does not please Linda, who
eventually leaves for New York, because she might get a job at
her sister's boyfriend's new restaurant. After Gardner bluntly says
she is incapable of being a single mom, she agrees that
Christopher Jr. will remain with his dad. Gardner is further set
back when his bank account is garnished by the IRS for unpaid
income taxes, and he and Christopher are evicted. He ends up
with less than $22, resulting in them being homeless, and they are
forced at one point to stay in a restroom at a BART station. Other
days, he and Christopher spend nights at a homeless shelter, in
BART, or, if he manages to procure sufficient cash, at a hotel.
Later, Gardner finds the bone scanner that he lost in the BART
station earlier and, after repairing it, sells it to a physician, thus
completing all his sales of his scanners.
Disadvantaged by his limited work hours, and knowing that
maximizing his client contacts and profits is the only way to earn
the broker position, Gardner develops a number of ways to make
phone sales calls more efficiently, including reaching out to
potential high value customers, defying protocol. One sympathetic
prospect who is a top-level pension fund manager even takes him
and his son to a San Francisco 49ers game. Regardless of his
challenges, he never reveals his lowly circumstances to his
colleagues, even going so far as to lend one of his bosses five
dollars for cab fare, a sum that he cannot afford. Chris is studying
for the stockbroker license exam, and passing it will get him a job
with Dean Witter Reynolds. Chris aces the stockbroker exam and
Concluding his internship, Gardner is called into a meeting with
his managers. One of them notes he is wearing a new shirt.
Gardner explains it is his last day and thought to dress for the
occasion. The manager smiles and says he should wear another
one tomorrow, letting him know he has won the coveted full-time
position giving him back his $5 as he promised. Fighting back
tears, Gardner shakes hands with them, then rushes to his son's
daycare to embrace Christopher. They walk down the street,
joking with each other (and are passed by the real Chris Gardner,
in a business suit). The epilogue reveals that Gardner went on to
form his own multimillion-dollar brokerage firm.
