I recently found out that the Tom Hanks movie, The Terminal is based on a true story (with some Hollywood flare of course). The real guy is from Iran and has been stuck in the Paris airport for 10 years! The short story is that he was kicked out of Iran for his political views and received refugee status in Belgium but lost his documentation. His ultimate destination is England, and finally got the papers to allow him to move there recently, but mentally, the airport has been his world, and won't leave it right away, so he'll be going through some therapy.
Read the details to this story here! It's worth it! http://www.snopes.com/travel/airline/airport.htm
