Das Streben nach Glück (2006)
San Francisco in den 80ern. Chris Gardner ist ein aufgeweckter und talentierter Verkäufer, der sich von Job zu Job hangelt. Er kämpft ständig darum, finanziell über die Runden zu kommen. Als er eines Tages sein Apartment räumen muss, steht er mit seinem fünfjährigen Sohn Christopher buchstäblich auf der Straße und weiß nicht mehr wo hin. Er und sein Sohn müssen harte Zeiten überstehen, bis es Gardner gelingt, ein Praktikum bei einer namhaften Maklerfirma zu ergattern. Fest entschlossen, seinen Traum von einem besseren Leben zu verwirklichen, schlägt sich Gardner zunächst in Obdachlosenasylen durch, ehe sein persönliches Streben nach Glück von Erfolg gekrönt ist...
