The Terminal is a 2004 comedy-drama film based on a story by Andrew Niccol and Sacha Gervasi. The film is co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It is about a man trapped in the United Airlines/British Airways Terminal 7 at JFK International Airport (though the interior set more closely resembles JFK's Terminal 4) when he is denied entry into the United States and at the same time cannot return to his native country due to a revolution.
Some have noted that it appears to be inspired by the story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, an Iranian refugee who lived in Terminal One of the Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris from 1988 when his refugee papers were stolen until 2006 when he was hospitalized for unspecified ailments.[1] However, no public materials, the DVD "special features", or the film's website mention Nasseri's plight as an inspiration for the film. Another movie, 1993's Lost in Transit (Tombés du ciel), has a similar plot and is set in a Parisian airport.
