Storyline:

Victor Navorski reaches JFK airport from a politically unstable country.

He makes the airport his home and develops a friendship with the people who work there until he can leave.

About Movie:

The Terminal is an American comedy-drama film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Stanley Tucci.

The film is partially inspired by the true story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri who lived in Terminal 1 of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, France, from 1988 to 2006.

After finishing Catch Me If You Can, Spielberg decided to direct The Terminal because he wanted to next make a film “that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world”. As no suitable airport was willing to provide their facilities, an entire working set was built inside a large hangar at the LA/Palmdale Regional Airport, with most of the film’s exterior shots taken from the Montreal–Mirabel International Airport.

The film was released in North America on June 18, 2004, to generally positive reviews and was a commercial success, earning $219 million worldwide.
