The Aeronauts (2019) is a historical adventure drama inspired by real 1862 balloon ascent led by meteorologist James Glaisher and pioneering pilot Amelia Wren. Facing deadly weather, equipment failures and dwindling oxygen, they push human limits in a perilous ascent to collect data that could change aviation and science. The intimate partnership, grounded by courage and curiosity, becomes a visceral odyssey through wind, sky, and mortality.
