娃十四岁，是龙门村的儿童。

一天傍晚，海娃腰里插着羊鞭，拿着一杆红缨枪，在山上的一棵小树底下放哨。

这时候，从阳坡的小路上爬上来一个人，他老远就叫：“海娃！海娃！”海娃听出是爸爸的声音，连忙迎上去。爸爸从怀里掏出一封信，对海娃说：“马上到三王庄去，送给指挥部的张连长。”海娃接过信一看，信角上插着三根鸡毛，知道是一封顶紧急的鸡毛信。海娃揣好信，赶着羊群转过山崖，忽然看见西山顶上的“消息树”倒了。糟糕！山那边准是发现鬼子了。海娃想，这条小路不能走了，就走大路吧。可是回头一看，大山口外面来了一队抢粮的鬼子。

鬼子越来越近。海娃着急了，把鸡毛信往哪里藏呢？他看着胖乎乎的羊尾巴，心头一动，就抢到前面抱着那只带头的老绵羊，把它尾巴根的长毛拧成两根细毛绳，把鸡毛信折起来，绑在尾巴底下。海娃什么也不怕了，他把羊鞭甩得响响的，朝着鬼子赶过去。“站住！”鬼子吆喝起来，哗啦一声举起枪，对着海娃的小脑袋。一个穿黑军装的歪嘴黑狗跑过来，一把抓住海娃的脖子，把他拉到一个长着小胡子的鬼子面前。海娃一点也不怕，他故意歪着脑袋，张大嘴巴，傻愣愣地望着小胡子。小胡子说声“搜”，那个歪嘴黑狗马上动起手来，摸补丁，掏窟窿，把海娃周身都搜遍了，连两只破鞋也没放过，结果什么也没搜着。小胡子只想早点进山去抢粮，就冲着海娃喊：“滚开！滚开！”

海娃回头就跑，他拢住羊群，使劲甩着羊鞭，恨不得飞起来。没想到那个歪嘴黑狗又追上来了，他用枪逼着海娃，要海娃把羊群赶回山里去，还挤着眼睛、歪着嘴巴狞笑者说：“皇军还没吃饭呢！这么些羊，够我们吃几顿啦！”海娃没法，只好跟着走。太阳落山了，鬼子的队伍来到一座小山庄跟前，就在打谷场上宰了几只羊烧羊肉吃。海娃顾不上心疼他的羊了，他悄悄地把手伸到老绵羊的大尾巴下面一摸，鸡毛信还照样吊着！他心里叫起来“你还在这里啊！”

鬼子吃饱了，一个个摸着肚皮，进屋里睡觉去了。歪嘴黑狗叫海娃把羊赶进牲口圈里，然后一把抓住海娃的脖子，把海娃拉进屋里。鬼子和黑狗们抱着枪睡在干草上，把海娃挤在尽里头。海娃睡不着，他想：“鬼子明天还要宰羊，要是今晚跑不掉，鸡毛信可就完了。”他不住埋怨自己：“海娃，海娃，你怎么搞的，连一封鸡毛信都不会送啊！……”忽然听见外面的哨兵吼了一声：“哪一个？”有人回答：“喂牲口的！”哨兵不吭气了。不一会儿，远处传来一阵鸡叫。

鸡叫两遍了。海娃哪儿还躺得住，他坐起来一看，门口的哨兵正在打瞌睡呢。他就悄悄地站了起来，踮着左脚把歪嘴黑狗的胳膊轻轻拨开，从小胡子身边跳过去，闪到了门边，又轻轻地迈过哨兵的大腿，溜到了村边的路上。“哪一个？”街那头的哨兵吼起来。“喂牲口的！”海娃装着大人的声音回答。那个哨兵就不理会他了。海娃走进牲口圈，一把抱住那只老绵羊，把它尾巴底下的鸡毛信解下来，揣进口袋里，撒开两腿就跑，一口气跑上了庄后的山梁。

天亮了，海娃跑到山嘴旁边，听见前面有人吼叫。他抬头一望，山梁那头有个鬼子拿着面小白旗，朝着海娃来回摇晃。海娃脱下身上的白布小褂，学着鬼子的样子也来回摇晃。没想到，真混过去了。海娃转过山嘴，一口气跑到对面山顶。前面就是三王庄啦。海娃高兴极了，他一屁股坐在山头上，把手伸进口袋一摸，不觉浑身哆嗦起来。鸡毛信呢？口袋里没有，赶紧脱下小褂子来找，也没有；把身边的石头缝都找遍了，还是没有。海娃马上往回跑，在来的路上找。他一口气跑上大山，爬到小山嘴旁边，就在刚才摇晃褂子的地方，鸡毛信好好地躺在那儿。海娃高兴极了，把信装进口袋，刚想回头跑，忽然背后有人喊叫，歪嘴黑狗追上来了。他抓住海娃，一连打了几枪托，叫海娃回去给鬼子带路。

小胡子把洋刀一挥，鬼子和黑狗又出发了。海娃赶着羊群夹在他们中间，过了大山，来到三王庄眼前。海娃看到山上的“消息树”放倒了，不用说，张连长的队伍已经知道鬼子来了。鬼子可什么也不知道，他们在沟里，又是抽烟，又是吃羊肉。休息够了，一队黑狗先走，想从中路走上峁去。山坡上忽然轰轰响了几声，冒起一柱一柱的黑烟，黑狗踩上地雷了。小胡子扔下那些黑狗不管了，他指着小路对海娃说：“你在前面带路，皇军在后面。明白吗？”

海娃远远地走在鬼子的前边。树林里岔着两条路，一条小路，一条羊道。他把羊赶上了羊道。歪嘴黑狗在底下吆喝：“走错了！”海娃放开嗓子说：“没错！我走过的。走吧！”羊道越来越陡，越来越不好走，鬼子走一截，停一截，远远落在后面。小胡子吼起来了：“慢慢的！”海娃装作没听见，一步紧一步往前跑。鬼子使劲喊：“站住！再不站住就开枪啦！”海娃不听他的，甩了一响鞭，拼命往前跑。鬼子真的开枪了。海娃同羊群一起飞跑，可是他实在跑不动了。就扑倒在乱草里，放开嗓子叫：“鬼子上来啦！打呀！赶快打呀！”

峁上突然响起一阵排子枪声，跟着又是一阵。海娃听到了，这是自己人的枪声。他的两条腿又来了劲，爬起来拼命向峁上扑去。忽然他张开双臂，“哎哟”尖叫一声，晕倒在乱草堆里了。一个游击队战士跑过来，抱起了海娃。

等到海娃睁开眼睛，他看见蹲在他身边的正是张连长，连忙说：“信……鸡毛信……”他的伤口疼得厉害，说着又昏迷过去了、海娃又醒过来的时候，他已经躺在暖炕上，盖着一床软绵绵的毯子。太阳从窗口射进来，照在炕上。张连长笑眯眯地问海娃：“好些吗？还疼吗？”海娃顾不得疼，他问张连长：“这是哪里呀？”张连长哈哈大笑起来，他摸着海娃的脑袋，说：“你忘了吗？昨天你不是送来一封鸡毛信吗？那是你爸爸让你送来的情报。咱们的队伍根据情报，砸了鬼子的炮楼。多亏你这个小八路，小英雄！”

海娃这才记起送鸡毛信这回事来。他脸红了，连忙问：“缴了枪没有？”张连长说：“缴了一大捆，都是崭新油亮的三八式快枪！”海娃高兴地说：“那就给我一支吧！”

The film begins in medias res with a white feather falling to the feet of Forrest Gump, who is sitting at a bus stop in Savannah, Georgia. Forrest picks up the feather and puts it in the book Curious George, then tells the story of his life to a woman seated next to him. The listeners at the bus stop change regularly throughout his narration, each showing a different reaction to his narration ranging from disbelief and indifference to rapt veneration.

His mother runs a boarding house in Alabama. One guest, a musician (later revealed to be Elvis Presley) picks up his own style of dancing from watching Forrest"s shaky movements caused by his leg braces. To get Forrest into a normal school, Forrest"s mother bribes the school"s Principal with sexual favors. On his first day of school, he meets a girl named Jenny Curran, a girl who is sexually abused by her father and who becomes his life"s love. One day after school, Forrest is being threatened by a group of bullies. Jenny tells him to run, and so he does, losing his leg braces in the process. His fast running ability becomes his favored method of travel, and during his senior year in high school, threatened by the same group of bullies, he runs through a football field and gets himself into college on a football scholarship playing for Paul "Bear" Bryant at the University of Alabama. He excels at football so much that he becomes an All-American, and meets President John F. Kennedy.

After his college graduation, he enlists in the United States Army. In boot camp, Forrest makes friends with Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue (Mykelti Williamson), who convinces Forrest to go into the shrimping business with him when the war is over. Forrest excels in training, and after finishing boot camp, Bubba and Forrest are assigned to the same platoon in Vietnam. As soon as they arrive with their new platoon, they meet their new platoon leader, Lieutenant Dan Taylor (Gary Sinise). After some time in the field, during which Forrest writes regularly to Jenny, Forrest"s platoon is ambushed while on patrol. Though Forrest rescues many of the men, including Dan, whose legs were severely injured and are later amputated, Bubba is killed in action, dying in Forrest"s arms. Forrest is awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism during the ambush, is promoted to Sergeant, and meets President Lyndon B. Johnson at his award ceremony.

After meeting Abbie Hoffman at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C., Forrest reunites with Jenny, who has been living a hippie counterculture life. He also encounters Dan, who has become a bitter alcoholic, having felt that it was his destiny to die on the battlefield, as had all his ancestors. Forrest celebrates New Year"s Eve with Dan, who is initially hostile and uses Forrest as a means of obtaining alcohol. When Forrest tells of his and Bubba"s plan to buy a shrimping boat, Dan mocks Forrest and sarcastically promises that he will become first mate of the ship. However, Dan later finds empathy with the fact that Forrest has been discriminated against in the past because of his perceived low I.Q., likening it to his own experience of disability.

While Forrest is in recovery for a bullet wound in his "but-tox", he discovers his uncanny ability for ping-pong, eventually gaining popularity and rising to celebrity status and later playing ping-pong in China. After meeting with President Richard M. Nixon, Forrest inadvertently triggers the Watergate scandal, is honorably discharged from the army and returns home to Alabama. He finds that his mother has endorsed a company that makes ping-pong paddles, earning himself $25,000, which, after getting a new hair cut, a new suit, fancy dinner for his mother, a bus ticket and three Dr Pepper soft drinks, he uses to buy a shrimping boat, fulfilling his promise to Bubba. Dan returns to fulfill his earlier promise and becomes first mate of the boat.

Forrest and Dan fail to pull in much shrimp at first, but during Hurricane Carmen, both men stay out in the middle of the ocean with the boat, which is the only shrimping boat in the area to survive. The lack of competition helps Dan and Forrest to catch huge amounts of shrimp. In the middle of the storm, Dan finally overcomes his personal demons and becomes one of Forrest"s closest friends. As his business partner, Dan later invests the money in Apple Computer, and Forrest is financially secure for the rest of his life. Forrest names his company Bubba Gump (which has since inspired an actual shrimp restaurant), and gives half of the proceeds to Bubba"s family.

One day, Forrest is told on the radio that his mother is ill. He returns home immediately and sits down beside her. She tells him that she is going to die (of terminal cancer) and consoles him by saying it was her destiny and that they all had one destiny. She subsequently expires, on a Tuesday.

One day, while Forrest is mowing the lawn, Jenny returns to visit him, and he proposes marriage to her. She declines, though feels obliged to prove her love to him by sleeping with him, then she leaves early the next morning. On a whim, Forrest elects to go for a run. Seemingly capriciously, he decides to keep running across the country several times for over three years, becoming famous in the process. During his run, Forrest unwittingly inspires two separate entrepreneurs to create Smiley Face/"Have a Nice Day" T-shirts and "Shit Happens" bumper stickers.

In the present, Forrest reveals that he is waiting at the bus stop because he had received a letter from Jenny, who, having seen him run on television, had asked him to visit her. Once he is reunited with Jenny, Forrest discovers that she has a young son, of whom Forrest is the father and who is exceptionally intelligent. Jenny tells Forrest she is suffering from an unknown illness implied to be HIV[citation needed]. Together the three move back to Greenbow, Alabama. Jenny and Forrest finally marry, with a completely changed Dan arriving for the wedding (now able to walk with the use of prosthetic limbs made of titanium alloy.) Jenny dies soon afterwards.

The film ends with father and son waiting for the school bus on little Forrest"s first day of school. Opening the book his son is taking to school, the white feather from the beginning of the movie is seen to fall from within the pages.
