When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out, Chris is left to raise their 5-year-old son, Christopher (Jaden Smith) on his own. Chris' determination finally pays off he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker-training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With self confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend.
