A light, flawed but mostly charming story, largely thanks to the performance of Hanks and the very affable costars. Acceptable #Spielberg.

| synopsis | Viktor Navorski is a man without a country; his plane took off just as a coup d'etat exploded in his homeland, leaving it in shambles, and now he's stranded at Kennedy Airport, where he's holding a passport that nobody recognizes. While quarantined in the transit lounge until authorities can figure out what to do with him, Viktor simply goes on living -- and courts romance with a beautiful flight attendant. |
