Vietnam and Gump house storyboard copies from Robert Zemeckis' Forrest Gump. When Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) and his friend Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue (Mykelti Williamson) met with their platoon leader Lieutenant Dan Taylor (Gary Sinise), they learned he had family members fight in every war as far back as Valley Forge. In their excursion of the Vietnamese jungles, Forrest and his platoon were ambushed, resulting in Bubba being fatally wounded and Lieutenant Dan's legs.
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.
