لمحة عن هذا الفيلم

Shot almost entirely on a two-and-a-half-story recreation of a full-size operating airport terminal this romantic comedy from director Steven Spielberg revolves around an Eastern European man by the name of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) whose plans of immigrating to New York were hastened by a violent coup in his home country. Unfortunately Viktor finds himself on the wrong end of a nasty technicality while en route to America: His passport was issued from a country which during its upheaval ceased to exist in an official capacity. Unauthorized to leave Kennedy Airport upon his arrival and unable to return home Viktor finds himself exiled inside the terminal's international transit lounge. Though airport official Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci) views Viktor as an annoying bureaucratic glitch other airport employees — including a beautiful flight attendant by the name of Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) — come to see him as a welcome if unofficial addition to their numbers. As the days stretch on into months the terminal transforms from an intimidating atmosphere of forced assimilation into a country within itself complete with culture ambition status complex diversity and the need for love. The supporting cast includes Diego Luna Chi McBride Kumar Pallana Zoe Saldana Eddie Jones and Jude Ciccolella.

This is one of my favorite movies - I've seen it several times. Although the story was inspired by a man who was caught between countries, and lived in a Paris airport for an astonishing 18 years - this film gives you a glimpse of what his life may have been like. It's sweet, funny and romantic. A great date night movie.

Heart-Warming & relatable. Tom Hanks perfectly portrays the inconvenient legalities and protocols that sometimes come with international travel. His constant patience and innocence makes you root for him thru the entire movie. If you've ever had a delayed flight and you stain to find anything to do; multiply that feeling by months. He never looses hope & he gains friends/respect. Plus, next time you go to the food-court, you'll think of his voice when you get an Eat-to-Bite, I mean a Bite to Eat

Tom Hanks is genius he actually makes his character seem real like if you could meet someone like this. This movie has everything to play violin with your heartstrings.
