Based on the real-life case of an Iranian refugee who lived for more than 15 years on a bench at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, this Steven Spielberg comedy drama, released in 2004, is very strong, although it's a touch too sentimental.

It stars Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski, an Eastern European who is en route to New York when there is a coup in his home country. By the time he arrives in America, Navorski is stranded with a passport that is no longer valid and finds that he is forced to live in the terminal building until peace returns in his country. Flight attendant Amelia Warren (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is the one redeeming aspect of the situation.

Worth watching.
