What is the synopsis of the plot Forrest Gump?

Answer 1

The plot of Forrest Gump is quite simple. Gump, due to the fact that he is not the 'sharpest knife in the drawer', with a lower than average IQ, sees the world in mostly black and white. He is uncomplicated in his approach to all things. But karma works for Gump. While he doesn't have a great number of true friends, the ones he does make, he keeps until death.

The luckiest are the ones that are his friends. They learn much more from him than he does from them. Too bad we aren't all a little more Gump-like.

Answer 2

Forrest Gump was originally a book based loosely on a real person by author Winston Groom. The plot is simple enough. The life of a mentally challenged young man over the time period beginning in the 1950's through the 1980's.

The movie of the same name starred Tom Hanks, Sally Field, Gary Sinise and Robin Wright. The film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards, and won 6. It grossed over $650 million at the box office.
