The story of a lifetime.

Forrest Gump, while not the smartest kid on the block (he has a mental disability), just may have had a hand in many important world-changing moments in recent history. Tom Hanks gives a wonderful portrayal of Forrest, a guy who could talk the ears off just about anyone, but most will keep on listening. The winner of six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Robert Zemeckis) and Best Actor (Tom Hanks), the words of Forrest's mother, 'Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.' have been integrated into our collective language. There's only one thing wrong. His true love Jenny (Robin Wright Penn) is always one step too far out of reach. Forrest Gump is the movie triumph that became a phenomenon.
