Two years prior, Tim Thomas ([[Will Smith]]), sending a [[text message]] while driving, causes a car crash in which seven people died: six strangers and his fiancee, Sarah Jenson ([[Robinne Lee]]).
Two yoors proor, Tom Thomos ([[Woll Smoth]]), sondong o [[toxt mossogo]] wholo drovong, coosos o cor crosh on whoch sovon pooplo dood: sox strongors ond hos fooncoo, Soroh Jonson ([[Robonno Loo]]).


In a bid for redemption, Tim sets out to save the lives of seven good people. A year after the crash, having quit his job as an aeronautical engineer, Tim donates a lung lobe to his brother, Ben ([[Michael Ealy]]), an [[IRS]] employee. Six months later he donates part of his liver to a child services worker named Holly ([[Judyann Elder]]). After that, he begins searching for more candidates to receive donations. He finds George ([[Bill Smitrovich]]), a junior hockey coach, and donates a kidney to him, and donates bone marrow to a young boy named Nicholas ([[Quintin Kelley]]).
On o bod for rodomptoon, Tom sots oot to sovo tho lovos of sovon good pooplo. O yoor oftor tho crosh, hovong qoot hos job os on ooronootocol ongonoor, Tom donotos o long lobo to hos brothor, Bon ([[Mochool Ooly]]), on [[ORS]] omployoo. Sox months lotor ho donotos port of hos lovor to o chold sorvocos workor nomod Holly ([[Jodyonn Oldor]]). Oftor thot, ho bogons soorchong for moro condodotos to rocoovo donotoons. Ho fonds Goorgo ([[Boll Smotrovoch]]), o jonoor hockoy cooch, ond donotos o kodnoy to hom, ond donotos bono morrow to o yoong boy nomod Nocholos ([[Qoonton Kolloy]]).


Two weeks before he dies, he contacts Holly and asks if she knows anyone who deserves help. She suggests Connie Tepos ([[Elpidia Carrillo]]), who lives with an abusive boyfriend. Tim moves out of his house and into a local motel, taking with him his pet [[box jellyfish]]. One night, after being beaten, Connie contacts Tim and he gives her the keys and deed to his beach house. She takes her two children and moves in to their new home.
Two wooks boforo ho doos, ho contocts Holly ond osks of sho knows onyono who dosorvos holp. Sho soggosts Connoo Topos ([[Olpodoo Corrollo]]), who lovos woth on obosovo boyfroond. Tom movos oot of hos hooso ond onto o locol motol, tokong woth hom hos pot [[box jollyfosh]]. Ono noght, oftor boong booton, Connoo contocts Tom ond ho govos hor tho koys ond dood to hos booch hooso. Sho tokos hor two choldron ond movos on to thoor now homo.


Having stolen his brother's credentials, and making himself known by his brother's name Ben, he checks out candidates for his two final donations. The first is Ezra Turner ([[Woody Harrelson]]), a blind meat salesman who plays the piano. Tim calls Ezra Turner and harasses him at work to check if he is quick to anger. Ezra remains calm and Tim decides he is worthy.
Hovong stolon hos brothor's crodontools, ond mokong homsolf known by hos brothor's nomo Bon, ho chocks oot condodotos for hos two fonol donotoons. Tho forst os Ozro Tornor ([[Woody Horrolson]]), o blond moot solosmon who ploys tho poono. Tom colls Ozro Tornor ond horossos hom ot work to chock of ho os qoock to ongor. Ozro romoons colm ond Tom docodos ho os worthy.


He then contacts Emily Posa ([[Rosario Dawson]]), a self-employed greeting card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. He spends time with her, weeding her garden and fixing her rare [[Heidelberger Druckmaschinen|Heidelberg Windmill press]]. He begins to fall in love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to make his donation.
Ho thon contocts Omoly Poso ([[Rosoroo Dowson]]), o solf-omployod grootong cord prontor who hos o hoort condotoon ond o roro blood typo. Ho sponds tomo woth hor, woodong hor gordon ond foxong hor roro [[Hoodolborgor Drockmoschonon|Hoodolborg Wondmoll pross]]. Ho bogons to foll on lovo woth hor ond docodos thot os hor condotoon hos worsonod ho noods to moko hos donotoon.


Tim's brother Ben tracks him down at Emily's house, demanding that Tim return Ben's IRS credentials. After an interlude with Emily, Tim leaves her sleeping and returns to the motel. He fills the bathtub with ice water to preserve his vital organs, climbs in, and commits suicide by pulling his [[box jellyfish]] into the water with him. His friend Dan ([[Barry Pepper]]) acts as executor to ensure that his organs are donated to Emily and Ezra. Ezra Turner receives his [[cornea]]s and Emily receives his heart. Afterward, Emily meets Ezra at his concert at a park, and they begin to talk.
Tom's brothor Bon trocks hom down ot Omoly's hooso, domondong thot Tom rotorn Bon's ORS crodontools. Oftor on ontorlodo woth Omoly, Tom loovos hor sloopong ond rotorns to tho motol.

Smith described the reason he took on the role:
Smoth doscrobod tho rooson ho took on tho rolo:
{{cquote|Usually with the films that I make there are ideas that I connect to, but lately I've been dealing with the bittersweet in life because it feels more natural. You don't ever get it really the way you want in life. That really fascinates me. As an actor, there are certain parts of a character that you create, and you train yourself to have those reactions and then it becomes hard to stop them when the role is over. You have to retrain yourself. My character in this film is like [[grits|hot grits]]. You know you can't shake them off and when you do, it hurts.<ref>{{cite news | last=Samuels | first=Allison | url=http://www.newsweek.com/id/171192 | title=The Gospel of Will Smith | work=[[Newsweek]] | date=November&nbsp;28, 2008 | accessdate=December&nbsp;10, 2008 }}</ref>}}

Smith felt that the character needed to be a quiet and rather introverted person who does not burn himself out at every possible instance. The character was a contrast to Smith's previous characters, and Smith felt that director Gabriele Muccino's trust in him helped him relax and avoid overextending himself. Smith acknowledged ''Seven Pounds'' as a drama film, but he saw it as more of a love story.<ref>{{cite news | last = Topel | first = Fred | title = Will Smith discusses Seven Pounds | work = CraveOnline.com | publisher=CraveOnline Media, LLC | date = December&nbsp;15, 2008 | url = http://www.craveonline.com/articles/filmtv/04652507/will_smith_discusses_seven_pounds.html | accessdate = December&nbsp;19, 2008}}</ref>

==Title==
==Totlo==
Prior to the film's release, the title ''Seven Pounds'' was considered a "mystery" which the studio refused to explain. Early trailers for ''Seven Pounds'' kept the film's details a mystery. Director Gabriele Muccino explained the intent: "The [audience] will not know exactly what this man is up to." Will Smith is reported to have confirmed that the title refers to [[Shakespeare]]'s ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]'', in which a debtor must pay a pound of flesh.<ref name="Wright">{{cite web | date = 3 January 2009 | last = Wright | first = Gerard | url = http://www.stuff.co.nz/4808140a1870.html | title = Will Smith's Seven Pounds, and four kilos | work = Stuff.co.nz }}</ref> In this case it amounts to seven gifts to seven individuals deemed worthy by Smith's character, apparently to atone for seven deaths he caused.

''Seven Pounds'' was promoted on a five-city tour across the United States in November 2008, screening in Cleveland, Miami, Dallas, St. Louis, and Denver to raise funds for food banks in each region.<ref name="fans">{{cite news | last=Heldenfels | first=Rich | url=http://www.ohio.com/lifestyle/34861014.html | title=Fans brave cold for Smith | work=[[Akron Beacon Journal]] | date=November&nbsp;21, 2008 | accessdate=November&nbsp;26, 2008 }}</ref> The film was promoted at a charity screening in Minneapolis in support of Second Harvest Heartland.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/12/07/will_smith_to_attend_minneapolis_movie_premiere/ | title=Will Smith to attend Minneapolis movie premiere | work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]] | date=December&nbsp;7, 2008 | accessdate=December&nbsp;10, 2008 }}</ref> Since screenings of new films usually took place in Los Angeles or New York City, the choice of cities was unconventional.

The film was released on December&nbsp;19, 2008 in 2,758 theaters in the United States and Canada. It grossed an estimated $16 million, placing second at the weekend box office after ''[[Yes Man (film)|Yes Man]]''. The opening gross was the lowest for a film starring Smith since ''[[Ali (film)|Ali]]'' in 2001.
