Pay It Forward
Hayley Joel Osment ("The Sixth Sense," "Forrest Gump") stars as a schoolboy who, as part of an assignment given to him by his teacher (Kevin Spacey -- "American Beauty," "L.A. Confidential," "The Usual Suspects"), must commit a random act of kindness for three people. Instead of paying the boy back for his kindness, those three people must then pay it FORWARD -- by committing a random act of kindness for three more people.

It's the not-too-distant future, and the Earth is dying. Humanity's only hope lays in the success of the first manned mission to Mars.
