Yet another collaboration with Spielberg, "The Terminal" is loosely inspired by the true story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri. When Viktor Navorski (Hanks) arrives at JFK International Airport, he learns that his country is in chaos as a coup d'état has occurred. Due to the uncertainty of his home country's government, Viktor is not allowed to leave the US to go back home or leave the airport, forcing him to live indefinitely at the airport. As he is waiting to get back home and resume normalcy in his life, he searches for a job, makes new friends, and even sparks a romance with a flight attendant named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones).
