Victor Navorksi (played by Tom Hanks), a man from the Eastern European
nation of Krakozhia, flies into JFK airport. At Customs he is forbidden
entry to the USA - Krakozhia has been taken over in a coup and the US
does not currently recognise the new regime, or nation. In addition, the
borders of Krakozhia are now closed. This leaves Victor in limbo - he
cannot enter the US or go back to Krakozhia. While waiting for the
diplomatic situation to sort itself out he is forced to live in the
International Transit section of JFK, living off his own
resourcefulness. He also makes some new friends along the way.

Viktor Navorski, a man from an Eastern European country arrives in New
York. However after he left his country war broke out. Suddenly Navorski
is a man without a country - or one that the U.S. cannot recognize,
thus he is denied entrance to the U.S. However, he also can't be
deported so he is told by the Security Manager that he has to remain in
the airport until his status can be fixed. And also Navorski doesn't
speak English very well, so he cannot talk to or understand anyone. But
he somehow adapts and sets up residence in the airport, which makes the
man who placed him there unhappy, as it seems he is in line for a
promotion but Navroski's presence might complicate that. So he tries to
get Navorski to leave but Navorski remains where he is. Navorski makes
friends with some of the people who work in the airport and is attracted
to a flight attendant he runs into whenever she comes in.

Former Krakozhian Viktor Navorski is almost in New York City for the
first time in his life. "Former" and "almost"?: while Viktor is flying
to JFK Airport, Krakozhia has been overthrown as a country with no
nation recognizing the new regime, therefore all government papers such
as passports, visas and currency issued by Krakozhia are also not
recognized internationally. With only these papers in hand when Viktor
arrives at JFK, he is not allowed entry into the United States. All air
service in and out of Krakozhia has been suspended and thus Viktor
cannot even be sent back until Krakozhia's situation is resolved. Frank
Dixon, Director of Customs and Border Protection at JFK, allows Viktor
to stay in the international lounge until the problem is resolved. Dixon
gives Viktor enough meal vouchers to last for a day or two, with Dixon
expecting Viktor to secretly escape the lounge into the outside world.
Viktor, however, wants to be as proper as possible and decides to stay
in the lounge. Viktor poses a problem for Dixon, as Viktor may be the
black mark in his promotion to head of the department. Their
relationship becomes an antagonistic one, where Dixon will now do
whatever he can to prevent Viktor from ever entering the country even if
he ever did learn the heartbreaking reason for Viktor's visit. As
Viktor stays in the lounge, he only has limited resources on which to
live and a limited understanding of the English language. Viktor's
encounters with lounge employees is also initially antagonistic, but
they all learn to live in harmony and friendship as Viktor's stay
increases. The one person Viktor would like to meet and know is United
Airlines flight attendant Amelia Warren, who is in transit through JFK
every few weeks and who seems to be dealing with her own personal
demons.
