The Pursuit of Happyness
Synopsis
The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2006 American biographical drama film directed by Gabriele Muccino, starring Will Smith as Chris Gardner, a struggling salesman who becomes homeless with his young son. The film follows Gardner's journey as he takes an unpaid internship at a prestigious brokerage firm, enduring numerous hardships in pursuit of a better life for himself and his son. The title's misspelling of 'happiness' comes from a mural Gardner sees outside his son's daycare facility. The film received positive reviews, with Smith's performance earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
