Very little. Forrest Gump the movie was based on a novel by Winston Broom, which is classified as fiction. The inspiration for the novel was a real man named Samuel Davis, Jr. I believe the real Forrest had a form of autism. He was also a war hero. Forrest Gump, the movie, did revolve around many true historic events in American life from the 1950's through the 1980's.
