The Secret Life of Walter Mitty tells the story of a man who is always daydreaming about being someone else. Any time in his ordinary life, and at any moment, he can be transported by one of his waking dreams, forgetting about what he is doing in his real life, such as driving his car, or shopping for items his wife told him to buy.
Walter Mitty is constantly pulled into a fantasy life where is a successful and sought after hero. He dreams he is a fighter pilot, a successful and skilled surgeon or about to be shot by a firing squad, all very exciting.
The problem with Walter Mitty is that he spends way too much time in his imagination and not enough time in his real life. In real life Walter Mitty is very inept, incapable of taking care of his own life.
