Up in the Air

Up in the Air (2009) is Jason Reitman's drama starring George Clooney, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Ryan Bingham flies into other people's offices to fire employees their bosses are too scared to face. He barely knows his own apartment.

Roughly three hundred days a year, Ryan lives out of airports, rental cars and chain hotels, chasing one private goal: ten million frequent flyer miles. Two women interrupt the routine. Alex (Vera Farmiga) is a fellow road warrior, perfect for meeting between flights with no strings attached. Then there's Natalie (Anna Kendrick), a sharp newcomer whose plan to fire people over video calls threatens to ground Ryan for good and gut the philosophy he has built his life around.

Reitman adapted the script from Walter Kirn's novel, and the film earned six Academy Award nominations, best picture among them. Clooney plays a man who preaches the empty backpack, then quietly starts wanting someone to fill it. Stream Up in the Air (2009) online on iFILM.
