This is really a nice show although its not new, shown in 2004.
Two thumbs up i would give.
Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a man from the fictional country of
Krakozhia arrives at New York City's John F. Kennedy International
Airport, only to discover that during the flight his country's
government has been overthrown and his passport invalidated,
leaving him stranded. Over the next nine months, Viktor is forced
to live in the terminal building, unable either to set foot into
the United States or to go home. He befriends the staff at the
terminal, including airline stewardess Amelia Warren (Catherine
Zeta-Jones), whilst being under the watchful eye of Immigration
Officer Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci), who wants the "Navorski
problem" removed from the airport.
One day, Viktor explains to Amelia that the purpose of his visit to
New York City is to collect an autograph of the jazz tenor
saxophonist Benny Golson. His father, who has died, was a jazz
enthusiast. He had discovered the "Great Day in Harlem" photograph
in a Hungarian newspaper in 1958 and had written to all the people
featured on the photograph, asking them for an autograph. All of
them had replied, except Benny Golson. Viktor wants to collect this
last one to fulfil his father's dream.
A few months later, the news reports that the war in Krakozhia is
over, but Dixon will still not allow Viktor to enter the United
States. 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. To make
matters worse, Dixon needs to sign the form granting Viktor the
right to remain in the United States, but refuses, instead deciding
to deport him out of spite. Thanks to the timely interference of
the friends Viktor has made during his stay in the terminal, he is
allowed to leave the airport. As Viktor prepares to take a taxi to
the Ramada Inn, 161 Lexington Avenue, in New York, where Benny
Golson is performing, he observes Amelia exiting from a cab, where
she gives him a wistful smile. He attends the show, collects the
autograph and heads back to the airport.
