what's on

From Jason Reitman, the Oscar-nominated director of Juno, comes Up In The Air, the timely odyssey of Ryan Beingham (George Clooney), a corporate downsizer and consumate modern business traveller 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 (Vera Farmiga), Ryan's boss (Jason Bateman), inspired by a young, upstart efficiency expert (Anna Kendrick), threatens to permanently call him in from the road. Faced with the prospect, at once terrifying and exhilirating, of being grounded, Ryan begins to contemplate what it might actually mean to have a home.
