Following the success of its blockbuster film version starring Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump has sold over 2.5 million copies in the United States alone. Additionally, at least thirteen other nations have republished the book.
The inspiration for Forrest Gump comes from the father of Groom, who knew a man who was dim-witted but whose mother had trained him to play the piano. Groom thinks Gump demonstrates that dignity may be attained without being intelligent or wealthy. The movie made over $700 million worldwide, won six Academy Awards and spawned a tonne of tie-in merchandise.
