Last night I was watching the movie in which I heard this phrase
"I am home"
Actually, I am looking for explanations.
How can it be possible to say, I am home?
Is it the same like
I am at home
Please explain it to me in details.
I don't know who I am.

Both are correct, though you wouldn't use them in the same context:
Honey, I'm home!
Is a very popular expression which means "I'm back"! In this case, you say I'm home to express that you just arrived.
On the other hand:
Where are you right now?
-I'm at home, what about you?
Is used to describe where you are in a static way. It doesn't serve any other purpose than to locate you.

I'm home, is it mean, I've arrived at home? – I don't know who I am. – 2016-05-27T06:53:43.743
In addition to the question listed above, there is plenty more on the distinction and overlap between home & at home: see Why do people say I am home, Difference between 'home' and 'at home', Stay home or stay at home, and I left them at home.
