About the film
The world will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump.
What it’s about
Forrest Gump sits at a bus stop and tells strangers about his life. As a boy, he has leg problems and is teased by bullies, but he discovers he can run remarkably fast. His childhood friend Jenny supports and protects him, but their paths separate. Despite his limitations, Forrest achieves great things and finds himself present during significant historic events, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do.
What hooks you
Tom Hanks plays the title role, with Robin Wright as Jenny and Gary Sinise as Lieutenant Dan Taylor. It is directed by Robert Zemeckis and features a score by Alan Silvestri.
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys sweeping life stories that balance humor and heartbreak, or who appreciates a nostalgic tour through American history. It will also resonate with those drawn to tales of enduring love and the resilience of a simple, honest soul.

Trivia
All facts 10
- Jenny's last name — Curran — appears only once in the film: on the letter that returned to Forrest in Vietnam.
- The film is based on the novel by Winston Groom "Forrest Gump" (Forrest Gump, 1986).
- The film departed quite far from the original novel by Winston Groom, in which Forrest Gump is portrayed as a sharp, insufferable cynic. And the quote from the film "Life is like a box of chocolates" is completely opposite to the idea from the novel "Being an idiot is not a box of chocolates."
- During the filming of one of the scenes, Tom Hanks says: "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump." In fact, the actor made a slip of the tongue, but director Robert Zemeckis liked it, and he included that very take in the final version of the film.
- The director's chair could have gone to Barry Sonnenfeld and Terry Gilliam.
- During the filming of the football scenes, Tom Hanks had the flu, but he steadfastly endured the ordeal and worked through those days despite feeling terrible.
