Eric R. Roth (born March 22, 1945) is an American screenwriter. He has been nominated six times for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay: Forrest Gump (1994), The Insider (1999), Munich (2005), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), A Star Is Born (2018), and Dune (2021) — winning for Forrest Gump; he also earned a Best Picture nomination for producing Mank (2020). Roth also worked on the screenplays for the Oscar-nominated films Ali (2001), Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011), and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).

In 2026, Roth made his playwriting debut on London's West End with his stage adaptation of High Noon.[2]

Early life and education

Roth was born in New York City, New York, into a Jewish family, the son of Miriam "Mimi", a teacher, studio executive, and radio writer, and Leon Roth, a university teacher and film producer.[3][4] He grew up in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn in New York.[5] He grew up boxing and would credit some of his later successes to habits learned from the sport.[5]

Roth went to college at the University of California, Santa Barbara and graduated in 1966.[6] He later attended UCLA Film School as part of the class of 1973.[citation needed]

Career

Roth won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Forrest Gump. He is known for writing his scripts in an obsolete MS-DOS application called Movie Master without Internet access and distributing the scripts only in hard copy formats.[4][7][8] He followed his Academy Award win by co-writing screenplays for several Oscar-nominated films, including The Insider, Munich, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and A Star Is Born. While writing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, he lost both of his parents, and as a result views the film as "my most personal movie."[5][9][10]

Personal life

Roth lives in Santa Monica, California.[11] He has five children, including documentary filmmaker Vanessa Roth, and filmmakers Geoffrey Roth and Alec Roth; and six grandchildren.[citation needed]

Roth was one of the investors defrauded by Bernard Madoff in a Ponzi scheme via Stanley Chais.[12][13] He stated that his losses were heavy and he has lost his retirement money, although the full extent is unknown. As a result of the fraud and the associated losses, Roth sued the estate of Chais, who died on September 26, 2010.[citation needed]
