The terminal true story movie#
It would be easy to make Navorski a cute guy with a sitcom accent like Latka in Taxi, and the movie almost falls into that trap with some moments of slapstick that threaten to throw off the tone of the story. He is ever-patient, wise, and steadfast, enriching the lives of everyone from a bitter janitor to a frantic would-be smuggler, and a vulnerable flight attendant (Catherine Zeta-Jones). He masters the intricacies not just of eating, sleeping, laundry, and even dating without leaving the airport as well as the immigration and customs laws and even the complete schedule of arrivals and departures. Navorski not only learns English very quickly, but he is an idealized figure. Though based on a true story, the film is more of a fantasy, even a parable.

But Navorski, unlike others who are held back by immigration officials, is disinclined to try to sneak out into the U.S. He hopes the Navorski problem will just go away - literally. This creates a problem for Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci), a by-the-book bureaucrat who wants a promotion. but he can't go back due to immigration laws. While he was in the air, his country suffered a "regime change," and so his passport and visa are now invalid. “Last month, passengers on a flight waiting for weather conditions to improve so they could depart received muffins and doughnuts compliments of the captain.In THE TERMINAL, Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) arrives at New York's JFK airport from a fictional Eastern European country.
