The timely odyssey of Ryan Bingham (Oscar® winner George Clooney), a corporate downsizer and consummate modern business traveler who, after years of staying happily airborne, suddenly finds himself ready to make a real connection. Ryan has long been contented with his unencumbered lifestyle lived out across America in airports, hotels and rental cars. He can carry all he needs in one wheel-away case; he’s a pampered, elite member of every travel loyalty program in existence; and he’s close to attaining his lifetime goal of 10 million frequent flier miles – and yet . . . Ryan has nothing real to hold onto. When he falls for a simpatico fellow traveler (Farmiga), Ryan’s boss (Bateman), inspired by a young, upstart efficiency expert (Kendrick), threatens to permanently call him in from the road. Faced with the prospect, at once terrifying and exhilarating, of being grounded, Ryan begins to contemplate what it might actually mean to have a home. Director/co-writer Jason Reitman in attendance
Featured/Marquee Screenings
Queen Victoria is brought to life in a stunning performance by Emily Blunt. The film portrays the Queen in her early years, marked by rebellion within her social circle, assassination attempts, love affairs and finally the longest and most successful rein in the history of English monarchy. Rupert Friend is Prince Albert, the man who wins over her heart and mind in this epic romance. Their efforts are matched by an accomplished cast of British actors. Martin Scorsese and descendant of Queen Victoria's family Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, executive produce this lush period piece.
