The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
ActionAdventureComedyDramaFantasyRomance114 min
Walter Mitty spends his days managing photographs at Life magazine and escaping into elaborate daydreams, until a missing negative for the magazine’s final print issue sends him out into the world. Ben Stiller is Walter, a quiet office worker whose search pulls him far beyond the office, from New York to Iceland and the Himalayas. The trail leads to an elusive photojournalist (Sean Penn), while Kristen Wiig is a co-worker caught in the same shake-up at the magazine. Walter’s private fantasy life and his first steps into an actual adventure keep colliding as the search widens.
