The Aeronauts Trailer
There are plenty of things that we take for granted as a civilization, but one that people don’t think about too often is our ability to predict the weather. That’s mostly because the common train of thought is that meteorologists always seem to get it wrong somehow. But perhaps we should pay some respect to the first people who set out to determine whether the weather could actually be predicted, at a time when scientists didn’t have advanced technological equipment to help them out and instead had to rely on hot air balloons to take them high enough into the sky to achieve this seemingly impossible goal.
You can watch the previously released trailer for The Aeronauts, directed by Tom Harper (Wild Rose) and written by Jack Thorne (Wonder), over here. Otherwise, here’s the official synopsis:
Set in 1862 and inspired by true events, The Aeronauts follows wealthy young widow Amelia Wren (Jones) and headstrong scientist James Glaisher (Redmayne), as they mount a balloon expedition to fly higher than anyone in history. This is a journey to the very edge of existence, where the air is thin and the chances of survival are slim. As their perilous ascent reveals their true selves, this unlikely pair discover things about each other – and themselves – that helps each of them find their place in the world they have left behind.
