Period dress historical pic about meterologist James Glaiser (a real person) and the fictional female balloonist Amelia Wren, who ascend higher into the clouds than anyone has ever. Mainly a ripping adventure yarn, but with some nice moments between the two of them, and ocassional hints about prejudice against women balloonists (she's more a circus performer than a pilot, even though she inexplicably seems to come from a very posh family). Although she's fictional she's apparently based on some real female balloonists.
Scary and striking aerial scenes in the balloon.
