When a massive power outage decimates the population, a small handful of people band together inside a deserted tavern in a desperate struggle to survive. VANISHING ON 7TH STREET, an apocalyptic thriller from director Brad Anderson (SESSION 9, TRANSSIBERIAN, THE MACHINIST), wrestles with the nature of existence itself in a terrifying vision of the end of the world. An unexplained blackout descends on the city of Detroit and by the time the sun rises, only a few people remain -- surrounded by heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows. Luke a television reporter finds the streets outside his apartment building eerily empty. Paul, a film projectionist is alone in a once crowded theater. Physical therapist Rosemary steps out for a smoke and returns to a deserted hospital, and James, a frightened boy, waits patiently for his mother to return. They each find their way to a rundown bar, whose gasoline-powered generator and stockpile of food and drink make it the last refuge in a deserted city.

Will Smith stars in the inspirational true story of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman who's struggling to make ends meet. When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out, Chris is left to raise their 5-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith) on his own. Chris' determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker training program, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters, and even behind the locked door of a metro station bathroom. With self-confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend.
