Tom Hanks plays Victor Navorski, who comes from a fictional Eastern European country. Just as he lands in JFK airport, his country undergoes a revolution, and so his passport and visa are void. Frank Dixon, an airport official in customs and immigration, tells him that he cannot step onto US soil. Victor has no choice but to live in the airport.
Dixon, who is perplexed by the guileless Victor, hopes that Victor will step onto US soil just so that he will be arrested and fall under someone else's jurisdiction. But Victor is clever and manages to carve out a life for himself at the airport, while also tugging at the heartstrings of a very lovely flight attendant.
