Our suggestions
An Eastern European tourist unexpectedly finds himself stranded in JFK airport, and must take up temporary residence there.
"One of the most iconic and flavorful movies from the Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg duo (who previously worked on 'Saving Private Ryan'), 'The Terminal' presents us with an unbelievable story: a man (Hanks) arrives in the United States from a small Eastern European country. However, during the trip, that country collapsed and its government dissolved. From then on, the feature film focuses on the situation of this stateless man who cannot enter the US, nor return to his homeland. Mixing emotional scenes with some even humorous ones, the movie discusses origins, roots and, mainly, the identity of this man who is stuck in the airport. Absolute highlight for Hanks, in one of his best roles."
