Viktor Navorski arrives at JFK International Airport, but finds that he is not allowed to enter the United States. Due to a civil war in his home nation of Krakozhia, the US no longer recognizes it as a sovereign nation. Viktor is forced to live in the terminal, carrying his luggage and a mysterious Planters peanut can. He befriends a catering car driver named Enrique and helps him marry a female Customs and Border Protection officer. Viktor also meets flight attendant Amelia Warren, tries to earn money, and gets an off-the-books job as a construction worker. Despite pressure from a CBP head named Frank Dixon to get Viktor out of the airport, Viktor earns the respect of the airport staff. Over time, Viktor reveals that he is in New York to collect an autograph from a famous tenor saxophonist. Eventually, the war in Krakozhia ends, but Dixon still refuses to let Viktor enter the US. Amelia helps Viktor obtain permission, but he is disappointed to learn that she has renewed her relationship with a married government official. Dixon blackmails Viktor to return to Krakozhia, but Gupta, an airport janitor, convinces Viktor to go anyway. As Viktor leaves the airport, Dixon decides not to pursue him. Viktor goes to the city, obtains the autograph, completes his late father's collection, and hails a taxi to go home.
