Forrest Gump is a 1994 film starring Tom Hanks and directed by Robert Zemeckis, and based on a 1986 novel by Winston Groom. It's the tale of a good-natured but simple-minded man touching important events and people from The Fifties to The Eighties (ranging from Elvis Presley to several presidents), rising to his own measure of fame and fortune in the process, mostly by just being himself. But he's forever pining for his childhood sweetheart Jenny (played by Hanna Hall and Robin Wright), who takes a different path in life that sometimes intersects with his.
Forrest's journey takes him from his native Alabama to the jungles of Vietnam, from walking in corrective leg-braces to running across North America, from misunderstood country boy to champion ping-pong player to shrimp tycoon, without ever quite losing the undying optimism of the era.
The film was a major box office hit, earning $677,387,716 worldwide, by far the most lucrative film of that year. The critics loved it; it went on to win six Oscars and numerous other awards. Thought by some to be one of Hanks' most memorable movies, Forrest Gump is peppered with dozens of iconic songs of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s — Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, the Four Tops, Simon & Garfunkel and Jefferson Airplane are just some of the artists heard.
