In "The Terminal," a collaborative effort by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, a heartwarming comedy unfolds with meticulous craftsmanship.

 The film introduces Viktor Navorsky, a man from the fictional country Krakosia, who finds himself stranded in a massive American airport after a coup renders his passport and visa useless. Customs official Dixon informs him that he cannot set foot on American soil but can stay in the international arrivals hall.

Rather than becoming a tale of invention and meticulous problem-solving, Spielberg, along with writers Sasha Gervasi and Jeff Nathanson, shapes it into a genuine human comedy

. The film evokes empathy for its characters, creating a tone that resonates with joy. The humor carries a humanity reminiscent of Chaplin or Keaton, where comedy and sadness delicately balance. French actor and director Jacques Tati's work also serves as inspiration, with Spielberg giving Hanks the space to navigate subtle situations, much like Tati's profound simplicity.

The central dynamic involves Viktor Navorsky unintentionally affecting Dixon, a customs and immigration official played by Stanley Tucci. Dixon, bound by rules, grapples with the presence of Navorsky, who defies expectations by being exactly who he claims to be—simple, honest, and trusting.

The central dynamic involves Viktor Navorsky unintentionally affecting Dixon, a customs and immigration official played by Stanley Tucci. Dixon, bound by rules, grapples with the presence of Navorsky, who defies expectations by being exactly who he claims to be—simple, honest, and trusting. The film explores the bureaucratic struggle when a man like Navorsky slips through a logical loophole, creating a sunny Kafkaesque story where the citizen inadvertently challenges the bureaucracy.

As Navorsky spends his days in the arrivals hall, Dixon grows increasingly impatient. The film raises questions about the limitations of the Immigration Service and the American legal system in dealing with someone like Navorsky, who isn't breaking any laws but exposes the shortcomings of the established system.

Dixon's attempts to relocate Navorsky to another jurisdiction showcase the bureaucratic dilemma, highlighting Navorsky's refusal to break the law or lie, even when offered political asylum. The arrivals hall becomes a meeting ground for various characters, including flight attendant Amelia, doorman Gupta, and a caterer, all of whom form connections with Navorsky and lead a secret social life within the terminal.

Tom Hanks, in a remarkable performance, maintains an accent throughout the film without it feeling like a gimmick. His portrayal of Navorsky, much like in "Forrest Gump," demonstrates a natural and seamless integration of character and language, making the role both authentic and memorable

ANSWER OF THE FIRST QUESTION : 14533565255856

Viktor Navorski, a traveler from the fictional country of Krakozhia, arrives at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport and discovers that a coup d'état has taken place in his homeland.

 The United States refuses to acknowledge Krakozhia's new government, rendering Viktor unable to enter the U.S. or return home with his invalidated passport.

 Consequently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seize his passport and return ticket, designating him as a refugee and compelling him to live in the airport.

The Acting Field Commissioner of the airport, Frank Dixon, directs Viktor to stay in the transit lounge until the situation is resolved. Viktor makes a temporary home in the terminal, residing near a gate undergoing renovation with only his luggage and a Planters peanut can

. Dixon, eager to rid the airport of Viktor, attempts various strategies to coax him out, including ordering guards away from the exit, but these efforts prove unsuccessful. Another attempt involves encouraging Viktor to seek asylum due to fear of returning home, but Viktor insists he harbors no such fear for his own country.

During his stay, Viktor forms friendships and assists several airport employees and travelers, such as Gupta Rajan, a janitor, Joe Mulroy, a baggage handler, Dolores Torres, an immigration officer, and Enrique Cruz, a food service truck driver.

 Among them is United Airlines flight attendant Amelia Warren, whom Viktor periodically encounters and attempts to court after being mistaken for a frequent-traveling building contractor.

 Meanwhile, Dixon, eyeing a potential promotion, becomes increasingly fixated on removing Viktor.

While awaiting resolution, Viktor immerses himself in learning English by reading books and magazines. His impulsive act of remodeling a wall in the renovation zone results in employment with an airport contractor, paid under the table

ANSWER OF THE SECOND QUESTION : 1352345436564

One day, Dixon privately questions Amelia about Viktor and his mysterious peanut can. Amelia, realizing that Viktor hasn't been entirely truthful, confronts him at his makeshift home. Viktor reveals that the Planters peanut can contains a copy of the "A Great Day in Harlem" photograph 

 

After nine months, Viktor's friends inform him that the war in Krakozhia has ended, and he can obtain a green stamp, allowing him to leave the airport. During this time, Amelia had sought help from her "friend" Max, actually a married government official with whom she had an affair, to secure Viktor a one-day emergency visa.

 Viktor is disheartened to learn that she rekindled her relationship with Max during this process. Presenting the emergency visa at customs, Viktor is told that Dixon must sign it. With Viktor's passport now valid, Dixon is determined to promptly send him back to Krakozhia, threatening legal action against Viktor's friends.

 To protect them, Viktor reluctantly agrees to return home.

Upon hearing this, Gupta Rajan, the janitor, takes matters into his own hands, running in front of the plane that would deport Viktor. This act ensures Viktor's deportation, relieving him of the burden. The delay allows Viktor enough time to reach the city.

 Though Dixon orders his officers to arrest Viktor, they, disillusioned with Dixon, allow him to leave the airport. As Viktor gets into a taxi, Amelia arrives in another taxi, exchanging smiles and eye contact briefly.

 Dixon arrives at the taxi stand moments after Viktor's departure, and when his officers suggest searching for Viktor, Dixon, having had a change of heart, instructs them to handle incoming travelers.

Viktor arrives in New York at the hotel where Benny Golson is performing, finally collecting the last autograph. He gets into a taxi, expressing his intention to go home. The taxi heads back to the airport, concluding Viktor's unique journey
