Synopsis: Academy Award® winners Tom Hanks ("Philadelphia," "Forrest
Gump") and Catherine Zeta-Jones ("Chicago") star in "The Terminal,"
under the direction of Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg ("Schindler’s
List," "Saving Private Ryan").
"The Terminal" tells the story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a visitor
to New York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while
he is in the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport
from nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must
improvise his days and nights in the terminal’s international transit
lounge until the war at home is over.
As the weeks and months stretch on, Viktor finds the compressed universe of
the terminal to be a richly complex world of absurdity, generosity, ambition,
amusement, status, serendipity and even romance with a beautiful flight attendant
named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But Viktor has long worn out his welcome
with airport official Frank Dixon, who considers him a bureaucratic glitch,
a problem he cannot control but wants desperately to erase.
"The Terminal" also stars Emmy winner Stanley Tucci (TV’s "Winchell,"
"Road to Perdition") as Frank Dixon. Rounding out the main cast are
Chi McBride (TV’s "Boston Public"), Diego Luna ("Y Tu Mama,
Tambien"), Barry "Shabaka" Henley ("Ali"), Kumar Pallana
("The Royal Tenenbaums"), Zoë Saldana ("Drumline"),
Eddie Jones ("Seabiscuit") and Jude Ciccolella ("Down With Love").
Walter F. Parkes ("Catch Me If You Can"), Steven Spielberg and Laurie
MacDonald ("The Ring") are producing "The Terminal," with
Patricia Whitcher, Jason Hoffs and Andrew Niccol serving as executive producers.
The screenplay is by Sacha Gervasi and Jeff Nathanson from a story by Niccol.
