The Terminal
The Terminal is a 2004 American comedy-drama film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Stanley Tucci. The film is about an Eastern European man who is stuck in New York's John F. Kennedy Airport terminal when he is denied entry to the United States, but is unable to return to his native country because of a military coup. The film is partially inspired by the true story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri who lived in Terminal 1 of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, France, from 1988 to 2006. After finishing Catch Me If You Can, Spielberg decided to direct The Terminal because he wanted to next make a film "that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world". As no suitable airport was willing to provide their facilities, an entire working set was built inside a large hangar at the LA/Palmdale Regional Airport, with most of the film's exterior shots taken from the Montreal–Mirabel International Airport. The film was released in North America on June 18, 2004, to generally positive reviews and was a commercial success, earning $219 million worldwide.
We don't have to do this, Viktor. I can ship you out in a crate. I can mail you anywhere in the U.S. What about my food cart?

Be careful. Those flight attendants ain't like regular women. Flying back and forth between time zones messes with their biological clock. - They're always ready for sex. - Okay, I found something. I am leaving. They will come for us. Gupta, will you relax? Just watch the door. You go in jail. Not me. For... You know what? Forget it. - Keep looking. - Warren, right? - Yes. Yes. - Warren. Amelia Jane Warren? - Jane? - Yeah.
