Forrest Gump
A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.

When his ailing father can no longer afford to pay for private school for his two kids and the only available public school is on its last legs…
