Forrest Gump is the extraordinary story of an ordinary man who somehow ends up at the center of every major moment in modern American history. Thanks to clever digital work by director Robert Zemeckis, the film blends personal journeys with political moments and slips Tom Hanks’ iconic character into scenes with real-life historical figures.
