The Terminal

Imagine being stuck at an airport, not for a flight delay, but because your country ceased to exist mid-air. That's Viktor Navorski's bizarre reality as he becomes the unwilling, long-term tenant of JFK. Tom Hanks delivers an absolutely delightful performance, turning a transit lounge into a fully-fledged home. It's a surprisingly heartwarming, often hilarious, and genuinely uplifting story about finding love, friendship, and a sense of belonging in the most unlikely and un-glamorous of places.
