A young boy stumbles upon a simple way to change the world in this drama.
Trevor (Haley Joel Osment) is a bright 11-year-old boy who comes from a troubled
home; his mother Arlene (Helen Hunt) is an alcoholic trying to hold down two
jobs to support her son, while Trevor's father Jon Bon Jovi) left his family
behind some time ago. At school, Trevor's class is introduced to their new
social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet (Kevin Spacey), a guarded man with severe
facial scars. Simonet gives his class
an unusual
assignment -- think up a practical way to make the world a better place, and put
it into action. Trevor comes up with the notion of "Pay It Forward" -- do a
needed favor for three different people without being asked, and then ask them
to do the same for three others. Trevor starts by letting Jerry (James
Caviezal), a junkie living on the streets, stay in his home. Next, he tries to
fix Arlene up with Mr. Simonet, since both seem to be lonely and the clean and
sober teacher might help Arlene stay away from alcohol. Finally, he tries to
rescue one of his schoolmates, who is constantly tormented by bullies.
Meanwhile, journalist Chris Chandler (Jay Mohr) finds himself stuck on the road
without a car late one night when a man stops and give him the keys to a new
car, asking him only to pay the favor forward to someone else; astonished, Chris
wants to find out where this philosophy came from. Based on the novel by
Catherine Ryan Hide, Pay It Forward also stars Angie Dickinson and Liev
Schreiber. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
