In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) teams up with pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history. But they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a struggle for survival. Redmayne and Jones earned an Oscar and an Oscar nomination respectively for The Theory of Everything in 2014. And director Tom Harper (Wild Rose) transmutes a real-life story into the wonder-filled adventure of the season.
