	Captains of the World! - Home
		The Terminal is a "fish-out-of-water" drama/comedy, starring Tom Hanks as Victor Navorski, a citizen of the fictional east-European republic of Krakozhia.
		While onboard a flight into the U.S., a military coup in Krakozhia essentially wipes the country off of the international political map.
		Krakozhia no longer exists, and without a home country, Victor can't obtain a visa to enter the U.S., and therefore the only place he can stay without breaking any U.S. or international laws is at the airport where he landed.

	The Terminal movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Krakozhia becomes an unrecognized country by the United States government and thus Viktor’s visitor’s visa has become void.

	Political Film Society - The Terminal
		While en route, his country has a coup, such that Dixon informs him that his passport is no longer valid because the United States is withholding diplomatic recognition from the new regime.
		Even though Krakozhia is gobbled up by another country, Dixon does not call for instructions from Washington about Navorsky's status and fails to alert the country's New York diplomatic mission.
		Dixon even arranges to deport some of the airport workers who have befriended Navorsky as an act of spite when he is fired from his job toward the end of the film.

		He can't return to Krakozhia, nor can he set foot on US soil outside the doors of the terminal.
		Following the explanation of this snafu by the head of terminal security Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci), Viktor slowly comes to realize (the language barrier is great at first) the implications of the news reported to him.
		When the Republic of Krakozhia is restored, they celebrate with him at the airport bar, and they help him to foil Dixon one last time so that Viktor can complete his voyage to New York City where he has a very special task to perform…

		Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a resident of the (fictional) country of Krakozhia (somewhere in that former Soviet Union corner of the planet) with virtually no command of English is caught up in something he doesn't understand.
		While he was in the air, a military coup took place in Krakozhia.

		Amelia reveals that she had asked her "friend", actually a married government official with whom she had long been having an intermittent affair, to assist Viktor in obtaining permission to travel within the U.S., but Viktor is disappointed to learn she has renewed her relationship with the man during this process.
		In fact, the language and location of Krakozhia is kept specifically vague in the film, keeping with the idea of Viktor being simply Eastern European.
		Throughout the film, it is learned that Krakozhia is bordered with Russia, that the Krakozhian language is akin to or a dialect of Russian, and that the Krakozhian national anthem is musically close to that of Albania (or the tune of Vajacki marš).

		However, en route to the United States, his homeland known as Krakozhia is overtaken by a military coup.
		This bizarre twist of events has two consequences: 1) The globally recognized state of Krakozhia no longer exists and 2) Anyone traveling with a Krakozhian passport and/or visa is traveling with invalid credentials.
		Although the months of awkward life in the terminal have been a pleasant diversion, Navorski is relieved to learn that Krakozhia has indeed returned to a peaceful state.

		Hanks plays Viktor Navorski, who flies into New York from the fictional Balkan nation of Krakozhia on a mysterious mission that somehow involves the jar of peanuts he clutches as if it were the Grail.
		As he's being quizzed at customs, Krakozhia succumbs to a coup, and Viktor is transformed into a bureaucratic unperson, an alien without a country.
		Homeland Security official Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci) tries to break it to him gently: His visa is now invalid, and he's not going anywhere outside the airport terminal until there's a new Krakozhian government to grant him a new one.

	The Big Picture - The Terminal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Hanks portrays Viktor Navorsky, who was inbound from his native land of Krakozhia when officials at JFK airport detained him.
		It appears Krakozhia – as thoroughly detailed in a great scene explaining the mess to Navorksy – is no more.
		The government has been overthrown, so his passport has been cancelled because there’s no government to back it, and the United States won’t let Navorsky return home because its new government has not yet been recognized.

		In "The Terminal," Tom Hanks stars as Viktor Navorski, a resident of Krakozhia, a small, Eastern European country.
		Much like the unopened box in Hanks' "Cast Away," the contents of that can remain a mystery throughout much of the film.
		However, when Navorski lands at the International Terminal at JFK Airport, he is detained because a revolution has broken out in Krakozhia, making his passport void.

		Navorsky was flying to America, Krakozhia plunged into civil war and the government dissipated.
		Navorsky is a man without a country, his Visa is invalid because the U.S government can’t recognize a ruling power in Krakozhia.

	Decca Music Group - Soundtracks
		We know Krakozhia is located in Eastern Europe, so I featured a clarinet in his themes, which is in the idiom of so much of Eastern European music.
		That idea grew into the screenplay The Terminal, which told the story of Viktor Navorski, an entirely fictional character from the equally fictitious Eastern European country of Krakozhia, who is en route to New York City when his country is torn apart by war.
		Viktor lands in New York only to discover that his identity has become a casualty of the war at home, and to be told that "America is closed"…at least to him.

	The Terminal Reviews
		In Steven Spielberg's new film, The Terminal, Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski, a man from the fictitious country of Krakozhia who gets stuck in JFK Airport after a military coup in his country voids his VISA.
		PLOT: A man from the fictionalized country of Krakozhia is indefinitely stuck at New York's JFK airport terminal after his passport is revoked when a military coup takes over the leadership of his country while he's in the air.
		The Terminal is Steven Spielberg's most Spielberg-y film in years, a fact made even more glaring due to his last handful of pictures being much darker than the fare we would usually associate with America's Director.

		A HUGE disappointment given the A-list caliber of the talent involved, The Terminal is probably the least entertaining film Spielberg has made since the sappy clunker Always (1989).
		Upon arriving at JFK International Airport, Viktor learns that rebels have overthrown Krakozhia's government.
		Since the U.S. government does not recognize the rebel government, JFK security official Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci) confiscates Viktor's passport and orders him to remain in the terminal.

		Turns out there was a coup in the fictional Krakozhia while Viktor Navorski was in the air over the Atlantic, and now, technically, his country doesn't exist.
		Viktor can't be allowed into the United States because he holds a passport for what is now a non-existent nation, and he can't fly back home because all flights to Krakozhia have been grounded until a new government is established.

	WhatzUp
		This time out, Hanks stars as Viktor Navorski, a man without a country stuck indefinitely in an airport terminal, and though the results here aren’t nearly as compelling, there’s still some fun to be had with The Terminal.
		It turns out that while Viktor was in the air on his way to America, there was a military coup in his (fictional) home country of Krakozhia.
		Without his passport he can’t step on United States soil, and, at least until the civil war in Krakozhia dies down, he can’t go back home.
