Since Orville Wright and brother Wilbur achieved the first controlled flight of an aircraft in 1903, aviators have continued to push the boundaries of human endeavour in the skies. A feature-length documentary follows explorer Bertrand Piccard and British flying instructor Brian Jones as they attempt to become the first team to circumnavigate the globe nonstop in a hot-air balloon. To write their names into history, they must fly around the world in direct competition with other teams.
