Description

Ryan Bingham travels from city to city firing employees for companies that do not want to handle layoffs themselves. He has built his life around airports, loyalty programs and a carefully maintained lack of personal attachments, but that routine is threatened when his employer considers replacing in-person dismissals with video calls.

Ryan takes ambitious new colleague Natalie Keener on the road to show her what the work involves, while a relationship with fellow frequent traveler Alex Goran and a family wedding begin to challenge his self-contained philosophy. George Clooney leads the film alongside Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick in Jason Reitman’s adaptation of Walter Kirn’s novel.
