The Terminal

Amelia (Zeta-Jones) asks a favour from her boyfriend and gets Viktor a day pass to New York. Unfortunately it needed to be signed by the airport official and he refused. The war in his country was over and the official gave him tickets to return to his own country. Viktor, however, makes a run for the doors leading to American soil. Viktor gets the last signature, he doesn't end up with Amelia (who goes back to her old boyfriend), and goes back to Krakozhia.

Continuity mistake: In the scene towards the end where Gupta stops the plane, it's clear and sunny. At this point, Viktor immediately starts walking down towards the exit. By the time he makes it, it's snowing, and it looks as if it had been for some time.
