THE STORY . . .
From Jason Reitman, the Oscar nominated director of “Juno,” comes a dramatic comedy called “Up in the Air” starring Oscar winner George Clooney as Ryan Bingham. He stars as a corporate down sizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles. But his goal isn’t the only thing just out of reach: he now won’t be able to see a fellow frequent traveller (Vera Farmiga) who has caught his eye.
