Set in the backdrop of 1981 San Francisco, the story introduces us to (Will Smith), a struggling salesman who invests his life savings into portable bone density scanners. Although the machines are more expensive than X-rays and difficult to sell, Chris is bright, determined, and carries an unyielding belief in his own capabilities. However, his persistence is not enough to keep his family afloat financially. His marriage to Linda (Thandie Newton) crumbles under the pressure of debt, and she eventually leaves for New York, forcing Chris to take sole custody of their five-year-old son, Christopher (played by Will Smith’s real-life son, Jaden Smith).

Similarly, several Kollywood directors have cited the film as an influence on their work, particularly when writing emotional “suffering” sequences (varuthapadum katchi). This influence extends to performance style, where actors now seek to portray vulnerability without excessive histrionics.
