The Terminal
Mehran Karimi Nasseri spent 18 years living in the Terminal 1 of the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France. Due to getting expelled from his home country, Iran, he legally came to France. However he could not legally enter France, only the airport. So he did the only thing he could, he lived in the terminal from 1988 to 2006. Although the film took place in JFK and Tom Hank’s character is denied entry because of a military coup in his home country.
