Ryan Bingham is in a desperate pursuit of obtaining one million frequent flyer miles through his current job. His story of traveling from airport to airport, and acquaintance to acquaintance on this pursuit is depicted in both a novel and movie. In the novel, Ryan is a more self seeking, lonely. isolated individual. In the movie he is much of the same however, there is the addition of his business partner that travels with him who also happens to be somewhat of an interest to Ryan. The way Ryan is depicted in the two stories is similar yet different. In the novel Ryan appears more bitter and greedy, in the movie however, Ryan's true emotions are more adequately expressed. Our society has come to be one of tolerance and acceptance, that is why we have the difference in emotions that are presented between the novel and movie.
