Patriotic plot: Tom Hanks stars as Forrest, a man who may be a little slow when it comes to intellectual capacity, but lives his life to the fullest. He represents the U.S. as a soldier in Vietnam and as an international table tennis champion, but his most important contribution to the people may have been his ability to unify the country with his simple act of running coast to coast, imparting common-sense wisdom as he went along.
