Forrest Gump (1994)

Slow-witted Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) has never thought of himself as disadvantaged, and thanks to his supportive mother (Sally Field), he leads anything but a restricted life.

When the Alpha Betas, led by jock Stan (Ted McGinley), repeatedly humiliate them, the nerd's plot revenge.
