College football and past war storyboard copies from Robert Zemeckis' Forrest Gump. In his efforts to run away from his bullies during high school and his best friend Jenny Curran (Robin Wright), Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) ran across the football field in front of college recruiters, earning him a place on the college football team. Forrest's success on the football team later led them to be reward by President John F. Kennedy. Years later when Forrest enlisted in the army with his friend Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue (Mykelti Williamson), they met with their platoon leader Lieutenant Dan Taylor (Gary Sinise) and learned he had family members fight in every war as far back as Valley Forge.
Forrest Gump was nominated for 13 Academy Awards® and won six, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Tom Hanks' performance as Gump. It is often ranked among the best films ever made, earning it a place in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 2011.
