NYC PREMIERE After a number of false starts, Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard and his British navigator and co-pilot Brian Jones embark to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon. Traversing adverse conditions and politically fraught airspace, the duo surges onward through the sky as they battle the elements and the ever-looming threat of disaster. This globe-trotting tale, featuring breathtaking archival footage, is a compelling look at one of the few modern feats of exploration. - Brandon Harrison
