Forrest Gump
ComedyDramaRomance142 min
From an Alabama childhood marked by a leg brace and a friendship with Jenny, Forrest Gump drifts into one chapter of American life after another, often without meaning to. He grows up as the country changes around him, moving from football fields to the Vietnam War, from sudden fame to unexpected success, while his simple decency keeps carrying him forward. Through it all, Forrest keeps returning to the people he loves, especially Jenny, whose life takes a harder, more troubled path. Tom Hanks anchors a story that turns one man's winding life into a tour through decades of American history, seen from an unguarded point of view.
