* ArduousDescentToTerraFirma: After having broken the record for the highest ascent to the skies, Amelia and James try to find a way to return to the ground. Unfortunately, by that point the hot air balloon is flying so high that it begins to freeze, and throwing away bags isn't making it go down (also, James begins suffering hypoxia and considers throwing himself away to save Amelia, which she refuses to let him do because that's how her husband had died in her previous aerial expedition). So she begins climbing to the top of the balloon to reach the valve at the top and open it to gradually deflate the vehicle. After some time, the two characters realize that the balloon is falling so quickly that it begins to collapse; they decide to cut off the basket, but the situation doesn't improve. Finally, they cut the cords so the silk remains in shape, turning it into a giant parachute. The landing is still painful, but they survive.



* JourneyToTheSky: The movie portrays a pair of balloonists making a high-altitude flight so one of them can prove his theories that weather follows predictable patterns.
