Who is the movie the terminal based on?
Some have noted that the film appears to be inspired by the story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, also known as Sir Alfred, an Iranian refugee who lived in Terminal One of the Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris from 1988 when his refugee papers were stolen until 2006 when he was hospitalized for unspecified ailments. In September 2003, "The New York Times" noted that Spielberg bought the rights to Nasseri's life story as the basis for the film; and in September 2004 "The Guardian" noted Nasseri received thousands of dollars from the filmmakers. However, none of the studio's publicity materials mention Nasseri's story as an inspiration for the film. The 1993 French film "Lost in Transit" was already based on the same story. In deciding to make the film, Steven Spielberg stated that after directing "Catch Me If You Can", "I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world... This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times."
