The film follows Walter Mitty, an employee of Time Magazine who struggles with maladaptive daydreaming. The Magazine is issuing it's very last issue, and he must find the photo for the last cover of the magazine.

Throughout most of the film, Walter Mitty has vivid and engaging day dreams, so much so that he zones out for minutes at a time, and it usually takes a hard wake up call from reality to bring him back. He dreams of love, excitement, and adventure. He dreams of his own life being that way, but he's not actively doing anything to make that a reality, life is passing him by. But then he sets out on a journey, and sees and experiences tons of new and different things. As he grows on this journey the cinematography also grows with him, the world gets bigger and more colorful. And his day dreams start happening less and less.

There's saying that goes something like "We got so busy looking at the stars, we forgot about the flowers at our feet." I have been guilty of this, and I'm sure others have as well. We all have a desire things to be better in our lives, but we can't just dream about them. We have to be pro active in our desires and appreciation of life. Don't let life pass you by. Don't feel like you have to do big or crazy things. Just start doing things you've always wanted to do or try!
