The Theory of Everything costars Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne are soaring high in the trailer of director Tom Harper’s air balloon epic The Aeronauts.
A reality-based thriller loosely based on the research of famed meteorologist James Glaisher (Redmayne), The Aeronauts dramatizes his work with the help of a character conglomerate, Amelia Wren (Jones), who serves as his brainy copilot who harbors a flair for colorfully publicizing their exploits as much as she cares about scientific exploration. It is a story of how 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. While breaking records and advancing scientific discovery, their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find their place in the world they have left far below them. But they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a fight for survival.
