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.

I think he's CIA. The CIA put him here to spy on us. You don't know what you're talking about. He doesn't speak English. If he could learn to speak, this guy. He can't speak English, how could he have a meeting with a beautiful woman? A flight attendant. - Oh, so, she's CIA, too? - No. She look like a Russian. KGB. She gave him heel of her shoes. And he gave her a piece of the paper. - Was it microfilm? - A coupon from Payless Shoes. Must be some kind of the code. You been spending too much time inhaling them cleaning products. I'm warning you guys. You watch yourself. This guy is here for a reason. And I think that reason is us.
