From Nobody to Somebody; A Hero

1. In the 2008 film, Seven Pounds, Will Smith plays a man, Tim a.k.a Ben, with a troubled past and a hunger for redemption. When texting while driving, Tim causes a car accident--killing six strangers, and his fiance. At this point, Tim becomes determined to save the lives of seven good people. Although the cause of a tragic accident, Tim turns the situation into a semi-positive light, and truly saves the lives of seven deserving strangers.

2. Sticking with Will Smith films, the 2006 American biographical drama, The Pursuit of Happiness traces the true story of Chris Gardner. For nearly a year, Chris struggles with homelessness while single-handily caring for his son and fighting with 19 other intern-competitors for a single paid position as a stockbroker. In the end, Chris receives the paid position, despite his numerous obstacles."The epilogue reveals that Chris went on to become a successful man and to form his own multi-million dollar brokerage firm."
