Viktor Navorski has just arrived in America, but during the flight his homeland was plunged into revolution and now Viktor's visa is invalid. Trapped in a bureaucratic limbo, Viktor's ingenuity and determination enables him to create a life within the confines of the airport, but as he develops friendships and respect so his desire to take the final walk through the departure doors becomes all consuming. Based on a true story that you suspect is closer to tragedy than this comic drama, The Terminal is a beautifully put together misfire from Spielberg and Hanks.
