In the movie, "The Terminal", what was the fictional home country of character Viktor Navorski?
"The Terminal" is a 2004 American comedy-drama film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg (December 18, 1946). Starring Tom Hanks, (July 9, 1956 ) Catherine Zeta-Jones, (September 25, 1969) and Stanley Tucci (November 11, 1960). The film is about a traveler, Viktor Navorski, from the fictional country of Krakozhia, who arrives at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and learns that a coup d'état has occurred back home. The U.S. does not recognize Krakozhia's new government, and Viktor is not permitted to enter the country or return home as his passport is no longer considered valid. Because of this, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seize his passport and return ticket pending resolution of the issue. He becomes a refugee and is forced to live at the airport.
The film is partially inspired by the true story of the 18-year stay of Mehran Karimi Nasseri in Terminal 1 of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, France.
Spielberg decided to direct "The Terminal" because he wanted to make a film "that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world".
Due to a lack of suitable airports willing to provide facilities for the production, an entire working set was built inside a large hangar at the LA/Palmdale Regional Airport, in Palmdale, California.
The film was released in North America on June 18, 2004, to generally positive reviews and was a commercial success, earning $219 million worldwide.
