Product Description Through three turbulent decades forrest rides a tide of events that whisks him from physical disability to football stardom from vietnam hero to shrimp tycoon from white house honors to the arms of his one true love. Forrest is an innocent at large in an america that is losing its innocence. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/25/2005 Starring: Tom Hanks Sally Field Run time: 141 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Robert Zemeckis
Amazon.com essential video The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane

  Amazing movie. January 8, 2009 I have loved this movie ever since I first saw it. Gave it to my friend for a gift while she's away at school.
  Amazing Movie! December 18, 2008 I am not sure how anyone could not love this movie! Tom Hanks gives an incredible performance!
The way the writer works in past events from actual history is classic, and keeps you very interested in the script. You will absolutely pleased at how he winds everything together!
This is a great movie that everyone should own! Go out and buy this movie today, and enjoy watching it a few times a year!
Enjoy!

I don't want to slam this movie, but I just don't understand why so many people like goofy, cute stories like Forrest Gump. It was so far-fetched for me that I never watched it again. It was not quite as bad as The Terminal.
Like the reviewer below me said, this movie beat out The Shawshank Redemption at the Oscars. Unbelievable.
