Victor,immigrant originaire des Balkans, est coincé dans un aéroport américain après que
son pays en guerre a disparu sur le plan du droit international. Son attention
se portera notamment sur une jolie hôtesse de l'air.
The Terminal tells the story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a visitor to New
York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while he is in
the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport from
nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must
improvise his days and nights in the terminal's international transit lounge
until the war at home is over.As months stretch on, Viktor finds the compressed universe of the terminal to
be a richly complex world and begins romancing a beautiful flight attendant
named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But Viktor has worn out his welcome with
airport official Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci), who considerrs him a bureaucratic
glitch, a problem he cannot control but wants desperately to erase.
