The long-awaited One Chance follows the true story of amateur opera singer and mobile-phone salesman Paul Potts. Down on his luck, he decides on a lark to audition for “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2007. His on-air performances ended up winning over audiences and judges, including the hard-to-please Simon Cowell. Paul went on to win the show and become a media and YouTube sensation, eventually going on a global music tour and releasing an album, proving dreams really can come true.
