Overview
About the Film
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a 2013 American adventure comedy-drama directed by and starring Ben Stiller as the title character, a timid, daydreaming negative assets manager at Life magazine who escapes his mundane existence through elaborate fantasies of heroism and adventure. When the final cover photograph for Life's last print issue — shot by legendary photojournalist Sean O'Connell, played by Sean Penn — goes missing, Walter must embark on a real adventure across Greenland, Iceland, and the Himalayas to track down both the photograph and the elusive photographer. Ben Stiller's direction transformed a story that could have been a simple comedy into a visually gorgeous meditation on the difference between imagining life and living it.
The film earned $188 million worldwide on a $90 million budget.
