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.
Next. Let me ask you something, Mr. Navorski. Why do you wait here every day when there's nothing I can do for you? Your new visa will not arrive until your country is recognized by the U.S. You have two stamp. One red, one green. - So? - I have chance to go New York, 50-50. Yes. That's a beautiful way to look at it, but America doesn't work that way.
The Terminal
No carts, no quarters. No quarters, no food. It'll be days before he goes through the doors in violation of section 2.14. Then he's somebody else's problem. Why don't we tag him in violation of section 2.14 now? - Then ship him to detention. - He has to break the law by leaving. I won't lie, particularly to get rid of somebody like him.
