Chet Hanks Channels Dad Tom's “Forrest Gump” Role in 'You Better Run' Video Packed with Easter Eggs from the Classic Movie

Chet Hanks is a-runnin' in his new music video.

The Running Point actor channeled the Academy Award-winning movie Forrest Gump for the "You Better Run" music video, featuring the new song from Something Out West — comprised of Chet, 34, and Drew Arthur.

The music video, which premiered on Friday, March 28, begins with a feather floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze to Chet sitting on a bench in a suit that may be very familiar to Forrest Gump fans. Meanwhile, the band performs on a shrimp fishing boat named Jenny — the most beautiful name in the wide world.

"You better run/Like the devil’s on your tail/Like you broke out of jail/Like a big storm’s coming/Run, like a wild mustang/Like a bullet train/" the duo sings in the chorus.

"Let me tell you something/You’re running out of time/On a ticking clock/She’ll be comin’ for you/There’s no time to walk/Run, run, run."

Throughout the music video, fans will notice Chet offering a box of chocolates while sitting on a bench, a fishing boat named Jenny, the iconic Nike Cortez sneakers and Chet's character running a la Forrest Gump.

Perhaps the most exciting easter egg for fans is the very special cameo from Forrest Gump himself — Tom Hanks. Tom, 68, joins Chet on the famous bench eyeing his son's familiar outfit.

The music video ends with Chet paying homage to Forrest's trek for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours. Chet had teased the music videos' homage to the 1994 classic film on his Instagram, including a clip of someone dressed up just like Robin Wright's Jenny from the music video.

"You Better Run" was written by Drew Arthur alongside Brendan Cooney and TJ Courtney, presenting a "cautionary tale with a sense of urgency," per a press release.
