Steven Spielberg-directed comedy starring Tom Hanks set almost entirely in an airport terminal. Viktor Navorski (Hanks) always planned to emigrate from his Eastern European homeland to the USA - but his plans were swiftly accelerated by the outbreak of war, and he finds himself on a plane headed for New York's Kennedy airport. However, on arrival there he finds himself caught in a bureaucratic red tape nightmare: his passport was issued by a country which, since the violent coup that triggered the war there, has officially ceased to exist. Because he can neither be granted entrance to the US or deported, he is told by security to remain in the airport until his status is determined. Equipped only with his faltering English and a simple, optimistic outlook on life, Viktor gradually makes friends with the airport staff - and even falls in love with flight attendant Amelia (Catherine Zeta Jones) - over the ensuing weeks.

a tad dull

By a customer , 01 Nov 2012

Pretty awful in my opinion. Not believable, cheesy and predictable. Dull film. They could have done so much more than this. I am all for a little fantasy in films but when they seem to mirror real life yet do anything but it really bugs me.

how to survive in an airport without money

By a customer , 27 Aug 2012

Brilliant tale and wonderful performances by both Tom Hanks and Stanley Tucci. And of course great direction. The airport makes a perfect, sterile setting for a war of wills between the man lost without a home, and the paranoid man in charge. Unique film.

Hugely entertaining

By Parsifalangel (12 reviews) , 29 May 2012

Highly entertaining. This film far outstripped expectaions and is by turns engaging and humerous. One for a family night in, perhaps

fantastic film

By cheesekake (1283 reviews) from uk , 01 Mar 2012

this film was great, and I believe based on a true story. Very moving and at times quite sad.

The only down side is Catherine Zeta Jones but hell the movie was that good had to give it 5 stars
