Movies are incredible in the way they inspire us. From the stories they tell, to the cinematography that moves us, to the orchestral scores that evoke such emotions within us—movies have the power to influence us in so many ways. This is definitely true when it comes to movies that involve traveling, so without further ado, here are three movies that’ll inspire you to travel the world.

Into The Wild

Based on the Jon Krakauer novel which was based on a true story, Into the Wild tells the story of Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), who upon graduating high school learns about the importance of connecting to nature and withdrawing from the corporate drones of modern society.

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty

This movie is based on a book of the same name, and it centers around the titular Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller), a mild-mannered office worker going through a mid-life crisis. We watch him as he goes through a major breakthrough, deciding to turn his life upside down and see the world in the process.

The Lord of the Rings

Although the Lord of the Rings is a fantasy film (based on the epic J.R.R. Tolkien novel), the amount of hiking in this film is through the rooftop. If the picturesque rolling mountain views of Middle Earth don’t inspire you to leave your house, the various quirky characters will.
