The Terminal (M) Presented on 35mm
The Terminal at Revival House Perth
Welcome to the extraordinary story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a man caught between worlds in Steven Spielberg's heartwarming 2004 drama. When Viktor arrives at New York's JFK Airport, a political coup in his homeland renders his passport invalid, leaving him stranded in the terminal's international transit lounge. What begins as a bureaucratic nightmare transforms into an inspiring tale of resilience, community, and the American dream.
Based on true events, this touching film showcases Hanks at his most endearing as Viktor learns to navigate airport life, finding friendship with the diverse terminal staff including flight attendant Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and security chief Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci). Spielberg masterfully balances comedy and pathos, creating a modern fairy tale about finding home in the most unlikely places.
With its themes of immigration, belonging, and human dignity, The Terminal offers both entertainment and meaningful reflection on what it means to be welcomed as a stranger.
