Forrest Gump, directed by Robert Zemeckis, is a comedy-drama that follows the extraordinary life of Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks), a kind-hearted man with a low IQ from Alabama. Through a series of serendipitous events, Forrest unwittingly influences and participates in some of the most significant historical moments of the 20th century in the United States, all while longing for his childhood sweetheart, Jenny.

The film won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor for Tom Hanks (his second consecutive Best Actor win). The iconic scenes of Forrest meeting historical figures like John F. Kennedy and John Lennon were created using groundbreaking visual effects, seamlessly inserting Tom Hanks into archival footage. The park bench where Forrest tells his life story was located in Chippewa Square in Savannah, Georgia; the actual bench used in the film is now in the Savannah History Museum. The line "My momma always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'" became an instantly recognizable and widely quoted phrase.
