Forrest Gump, a man with a below-average IQ but an extraordinary heart, stumbles through three decades of American history and somehow ends up at the centre of every major event. He teaches Elvis to dance, plays college football, serves in Vietnam, meets three presidents, starts a shrimping empire, and runs across the country, all while carrying an unwavering love for his childhood friend Jenny. Tom Hanks delivers a performance so warm and genuine that the character’s simplicity becomes its own kind of wisdom, turning what could have been a gimmick into one of the most beloved films ever made.
