The Terminal (2004)
Viktor Navorski is a man without a country; his plane took off just as a coup d'etat exploded in his homeland, leaving it in shambles, and now he's stranded at Kennedy Airport, where he's holding a passport that nobody recognizes. While quarantined in the transit lounge until authorities can figure out what to do with him, Viktor simply goes on living – and courts romance with a beautiful flight attendant.

The Worst Film Ever
Strong and Moving!
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The Terminal is a charming comedy drama by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Hanks as a man stranded in New York's JFK international for 9 months. He befriends many people much to the disdain of the officials of the airport played excellently by Stanley Tucci. The film is charming and Tom Hanks plays a hapless yet endearing man rather well- as he has done for so many years. Spielberg's direction is impeccable, it is amazing to think he can switch from big budget spectacles to dramas so effortlessly. The Terminal is an absolute must watch for fans of Spielberg or Hanks or good films in general.
This movie for me is a top 5 Tom hanks movie i love comedy drama romance !
How did the screenwriter of the film think about creating a story within the airport terminal? Especially, the international airport is a place where people feel a little bit more excited about going abroad or coming from abroad.There are many shops in the duty-free area of the airport terminal and many people work from early morning until late. There are also police, customs, airlines, banks and so on. That is to say, it feels like a big city. There are also huge commercial aircraft that are worth seeing.In addition, people of small countries who can not speak English, a little love story, New York jazz bar and so on.It is a film that makes the viewer smile consistently. This film is a perfect match for a family with a comfortable winter evening.PS: Thanks for reading. Please understand that my English is not good. ^
First of all i would say that is how you make a film without high tech gadgets , Special effects and stunts etc. It is just the beauty of acting and Story line.If you love acting and story line to make you entertain this is just one of the perfect movies to watch.I cannot forget the man who brings the extra ordinary masterpiece of acting to this film , MR.Tom Hanks. He is as always the best in the business. He shows to all the new actors who put more faith in stunts and Special Effects that it is not the real case of entertaining people. As an actor it is always ACTING which makes people felt the presence of an actor. Catherine Zeta Jones also did a wonderful support play to Tom Hanks and should be mentioned with a great respect for her justification to the character as well. Like every other movie Tom Hanks had touched this film is also not an outcast but again an inspiration to the movie loving fans.
