Viktor Navorksi (Tom Hanks) falls into a bureaucratic crack in the system when his plane lands at New York's JFK airport from the fictitious country of Krakozhia. Unbeknownst to...
more...Navorski, his country fell prey to a military coup while he was in flight, causing it to be wiped from the map. This effectively renders his passport null and void, meaning he cannot legally enter America, nor return to his now nonexistent home. Barely able to speak English, the hapless Navorski is offered a sanctuary of sorts by kindly staff who allow him to freely inhabit the airport. With little money to his name, Navorski has to quickly shed his feelings of displacement, confusion, and alienation to survive. Fortunately he has a resourceful nature, and makes a meagre amount of money for food by returning baggage carts. As time passes he becomes more comfortable with his surroundings, even finding time to pursue a passing stewardess, Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who has captured his heart. But airport denizens such as customs chief Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci), who is a constant thorn in Navorski's side, remind him of his outsider status throughout the ordeal. Director Steven Spielberg uses the airport setting of THE TERMINAL to represent a microcosmic view of the immigrant experience in American society. Drawing on a fine performance from Hanks, and a supporting cast who provide plenty of laughs, Spielberg handles some delicate subject matter with an acute sensitivity, providing a heartfelt tale in the process.

Have a Little Patience
Review of The Terminal DVD by Essexgirl2006

Advantages: Perfomances, comedy
Disadvantages: Plot Holes

...Hanks plays Viktor Navorski from the small independent (and fictitious) state of Krakozhia who has just arrived in New York by plane. However there has been a coup in his country whilst he was en route and his visa is no longer valid. He can also not return home as his country technically no longer exists, as the USA is refusing to recognize it. Therefore he must wait in the international transit lounge until further notice. Viktor doesn't speak much ... Read review

Its alright.
Review of The Terminal DVD by JoeyDrummer17

Advantages: Easy to follow or get into
Disadvantages: Never really gets interesting

...grabs your attention, all of the plot is very slowly introduced. It does have that brilliant Spielberg quality every now and then where there's some wonderful quirkiness, but all in all, how interesting can you possibly get, filming pretty much an entire movie in an airport? The storyline isn't complicated or difficult to follow and the comedy is a little weak and completely believable. But does anybody see comedy films because they want it to be ... Read review
