Chris Gardner invests his life savings in portable bone-density scanners, only to find they are a tough sell. When his wife leaves, he is left with custody of their son, Christopher. The film’s most harrowing sequences show father and son sleeping in a subway bathroom, a homeless shelter, or on the street. Yet Gardner never stops pursuing an unpaid internship at Dean Witter Reynolds, competing against 19 other candidates for a single paid position. His famous line — “Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something” — drives the narrative.
