As their perilous ascent reveals their true selves, this unlikely pair discover things about each other—and themselves—that help them find their place in the world they have left behind.

“‘The Aeronauts’ achieves impressive elevation as a bracing and sympathetic account of two early and very different aviators who together reached literal new heights in a perilous field of endeavor.” – Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

“A thrilling, action-packed, wide-vista yarn from the sharp quills of Jack Thorne and co-writer and director Tom Harper, this Amazon-backed project is deceptively simple yet surprisingly deft.” – Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily
