At 6'6 and 240lbs, Forrest Gump is difficult to ignore. This satire follows him from the football dynasties of Bear Bryant to Vietnam, and from encounters with Presidents Johnson and Nixon to pow-wows with Chairman Mao. It also takes in Harvard University, a Hollywood set, and a NASA mission.
Take my word for it - don't never let nobody make a movie of your life's story... Forrest Gump is back! The lovable character returns in a long-awaited sequel to the bestselling novel and blockbuster film. A little older and wiser, he navigates the vibrant yet tumultuous 1980s, a time marked by greed and instant gratification. Whenever he feels lost, he visits Jenny's grave for comfort. After the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. goes bust, Forrest finds himself flat broke, sweeping floors in a New Orleans strip joint. However, his fortunes change when he gets the chance to play championship football again, bringing him back into the limelight and financial stability. But fate is unpredictable, and soon he’s on the road selling dubious encyclopedias while trying to raise his son, little Forrest, who needs him more than ever. Forrest's touching and comedic journey unfolds with unexpected events, including a chaotic attempt at hog farming, a quirky recipe for New Coke, and encounters with notable figures like Ollie North. Praised as a wacky and funny nuthouse of a book, Forrest's adventures continue to captivate readers, proving that he truly leads anything but a humdrum life.
