There’s a scene in the 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness where the protagonist, played by Will Smith, frantically tries to solve a Rubik’s cube in a matter of minutes.
In an attempt to impress a job prospect, he carefully yet quickly masters this mission, completing what seems like a herculean task. The movie is based on the true story of stockbroker Chris Gardner, “with the cube a metaphor for the persistence he needs to overcome challenges and achieve his dreams.”
